Shallow Running (Huon Pine) Minnow

185mm made from Huon Pine this is a shallow running minnow. The timber was purchased in Tasmainia in early 2022 as a peice of recycled timber. Lagarostrobos franklinii is a species of conifer native to the wet Southwestern corner of Tasmania. The timber was widely used for manufacturing timber boats in days gone past. There still is a timber boat manufacturing business operating on the banks of the river in Huonville Tasmania, well worth taking a tour if you are in the area.
