What Is "Jummywood"?

A quick DAGS didn't turn up anything resembling a botanical definition. Is this some sort of Aussie slang for Eucalyptus or something?


sigh...

A Google Groups search on rec.woodworking should turn up the answers. It's been covered here before.

Oh, I see. Sort of like the snow snakes that chase the mogul mice and which occasionally trip up the unwary skier. Yuk yuk. I might have caught on but for the lack of snow this year.

Wonderful wood, I believe it may now be an endangered species, one reason you're having problems finding references to it. Happily it's not near as difficult to find as sapient pearwood - and nowhere near as expensive.

Try a slow DAGS next time. And, no, it's not Aussie slang.

JOAT A problem adequately stated is a problem well on its way to being solved.

Every now and then a tip catchs on something. Snow snakes? Learn something new every day.

Uh oh. You've called all the old farts out from their hiding spots. We gotta start drawing outlines around em so it doesn't take so long to get them back in their places.

Hah! No kidding. By gawd, I remember when the wreck was the wreck.... only a few played here.... all experts and "in the know"... and we liked it that way! Now anyone can post here, and some don't seem to be "in the know" at all... no respect...

The Cabal has dispatched a "team".

There is no cabal. And even if there is, the team that doesn't exist will be there shortly, but there isn't, so they won't. Probably.

There is also Pacific (or Western) Jummywood, AKA doug fir. mahalo, jo4hn (back from a stint on the bounding main)
