[Camelopardalis (Dunk)]

Does anyone make tripods from local (Australian) wood, or know someone that does? I have a project in mind that I think would go really well with the beautiful dark red brown wood sometimes used in homes (flooring, etc).

Alternatively, could anyone recommend a type of wood that would work well from the point of view of vibration suppression? Obviously, strength is a virtue too but I'd expect there to be a midpoint too.
