    Maybe you could use a this as a veneer or cap over a lighter species of wood.

    I've got a local timber supplier in perth (The Timber Bloke) that I get sheoak from, I'm happy to help you find a suitable piece... but what are the regulations on posting wood interstate?

    I’m not sure, I get stuff in from Qld and Vic all the time with no issues. I’ll check for WA. It I’m not aware of any issues other than certain fruit and veg.
    if it’s all good, I’d be grateful for a set of eyes over there

    I was planning on taking a ride over there maybe next weekend to find a good bit of sheoak for my tailpiece.

    Let me know what you're looking for.
