Funny you should mention Jarrah, I have a number of pieces of furniture made from it, one is the dining table and another is a unit under the TV hiding all the DVD gubins etc.
The wood is actually reclaimed from railway sleepers imported from South Africa, who are currently going through a program of removing them and replacing them with concrete ones. I have often wondered just where the sleepers were located that I now eat my dinner off. The furniture is therefore all very individual and even, in the case of the TV unit, made to order by a firm luckily very local to me.
I'm with you guys and love wood with a passion.
