What is the best Australian timber to use for snaths?
We are still looking for a good contender for snaths. So far we have come up with Acacia implexa (common name Australian hickory), and Eucalyptus regnans (one of the three Tasmanian Oak species). Someone tried bamboo, but I haven’t heard how successful that was. What was completely useless was a piece of pine that you get from a hardware store. After one of our first snath makers spend much care and effort lovingly fashioning a one-gripped snath, the snath broke in two on first impact.
