ALL: What sort of timber should I use for  Phil  :coffee2:

Personally I think the really dark timbers work well with the BDB's, such as Wenge/Ebony. I don't think redder timbers work as well with the breville for some reason.

RM: The Wenge like the unit for M: is OK to turn, but due to the different grains and depth a pain to get a great finish. RM: The Ebony I have is pure black. Heavy and feels great but just looks like a standard plastic handle and is a bugger to turn.

Got any darker Oak? That would look good....or maybe unfinished blanks aren't available because it isn't really grown in Australia? Jacaranda wood maybe?

Nup... Bein as it is that I'm from Tarnsville I reckon Mango's the shot.  Nice and glossy with silvery tones on occasion.  Go for bling as a contrast the the sedate 'matter of fact' look of the machine.

AM, stuffed around with some F14 forrest red today. Retains a lot more colour than the iron bark I gave KK and is no where near as hard. Could be a go if KK's stuff is too hard.
