Got a brand new beautiful looking Tasmanian Blackwood fish bat, priest, waddie or whatever you want to call them, 460mm long. Selling on behalf of a friend who made it. Would make a great present for somebody. He is after $50 plus postage. 

Smudge, I agree, I am trying to find some old pururi posts for my mate to make some more from. We used to have a few of them on the farm, bloody hard and heavy as hell, banging a staple into them was bloody hard, half the time the staple just bent over. They would make fantastic waddies, also black maire would be fantastic, it is the hardest NZ native would. They are both bloody hard to find now days for sale.
