Even though I don't suffer from trypophobia, I'm still finding the the Banksia Pod to be the stuff of nightmares.

Wish I could submit entries as I love using Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis) for yard projects like garden boxes and swingsets. Great option for folks in the Pacific Northwest. It's effectively an invasive species in its natural habitat though because of forest mismanagement! https://www.snwwood.com/channels/website/documents/restorati...

Update: found it! Submitting: https://www.wood-database.com/donating-wood-samples/

Juniper is fantastic for raised beds. I usually get it at Dunn Lumber in the spring (Seattle area).

So great to see a well populated Australia section. We have lovely hardwoods but a lot of the popular woodwork reesources are very focused on European and American species. Thanks!
