    Hi all (including sponsors who read this section)

    I am looking for a specific Mopani root piece. Have a look at the picture attachment. Those are two pieces of Manzanita wood, but the shape will give you an idea of what I am looking for. More importantly, I want a piece of Mopani root, similar in shape, but around 80cm in length. I realise the Mopani will be slightly thicker than the Manzanita, but that is also fine. Just no thicker than, perhaps, 12cm. Anywhere in the country will do, we can make a plan regarding transport. If you have something, let me know what you want for it. If you have seen a similar piece in LFS around your area, please let me know.

    Do you need to prepare it in any way? Doesn't it float?
