Default Vancouver Island Wood?

Leo,
Not sure what species it is, or how big it is, but I have seen BLM,
burls that could barely fit on a flat bed truck, and other fir,
Madrone, and myrtle ones that are bigger than I can turn.

Surely Reed, they have this :-))) (see below), and you can't get that

Next week I will be in Victoria and I am wondering if there are any
interesting wood sources in the area.


I don't know Victoria well, but arbutus is one of the woods found in
the area. This ad

57 is for arbutus firewood, so you may be able to get some interesting
pieces...
