BELIAN,the Red Ridding WHood


"Secretly duped with Tongkat Ali,.here's Anton exerting some super crotch power!"


Belian: Eusideroxylon zwageri of the family Lauraceae, More commonly known as The Iron Wood.

After another set of hasty breaths,I finally manage to huff my way through the cobble stone *soon to be driveway.* The long awaited ,250 pcs of Belian timber set before my eyes. There's something about seeing wood logs that drives my adrelin into perculiar paths,Cuz somehow it leads to the bladder instead?!yea, I got so excited it made me wanna pee..

Well thats before we discover the supplier had stocked rotten timber amidst the bundle..Anton and I had to sort them out and place it aside before we can get the crane in.we had to tumble the 150kg +/- load along a 3m stretch. Anton cauldn't stop ranting about how the Iron wood had splinters like Iron nails, Being the wiser partner,I decided to adapt an alternate strategy through this potentially back breaking (i'm serious) chore!...focus on the breathing..one...huffff.. two ..puff.. one huff... two puff...

It seems you can't trust the loggies these days.Since Belian timber is considered a top notch tropical wood,We'd paid pretty aching sum for it. A good log should have a nice handsome red blush,sm what spicy hint when you smell it. Due to its great weather proof properties,its commonly known to hold Jetties and Bridges for a good decade or 2. We'll be using these as main support pillars for the Longhouses,Duplexes and the oh so fabulously designed 3 Tier Communal Pavillion.

After rolling some 20 logs,My errmm "maiden hands" was badly violated by the splintter,I took awhile to straighten my back then ..Heck,! I was seeing stars!
