Does it say it in the comments? I didn't see that...saw somebody asked
but no answer.

You have to read much further down in the comments to read were Alex
actually commented back on the wood with the link above.


OK, I see that it's on another page further down or more...I presumed if
hadn't answered on that first page probably hadn't and wasn't interested
enough to keep searching...

I still think it's odd that those he's cutting are apparently pretty
tall (or the video is shot for the effect ) and have such a long log
before any signs of branching and the very smooth bark. I couldn't find
a sample picture that looked anything whatever like his altho I did
_finally_ find one labelled as "Tasmanian" shot from a distance that at
least did a have a bit of a trunk and didn't look quite so rough bark as
the bulk did. Perhaps there's a difference in Australia vis a vis
Tasmanian as I think almost if not all the rest were Australian.

But, I presume he does know what it is...
