Answer: No, it is extremely dense and heavy. It is the hardness of hard/rock maple and is not easily cut with traditional bandsaw blades. Along with hard maple they both use special wide tooth blades to cut the woods without burning them.

Question: What is the best way to prevent my interior hardwood floors from fading due to sunlight.? I have bloodwood floors throughout my home and they are clearcoated with polyurethane. I wanted to keep them as red as possible and one way to do this is to prevent the sun from bleaching them to a brown color (the unfinished piece of bloodwood on my window sill turned from red to brown). What is the best way to protect my interior hardwood floors from fading or changing color due to the sunlight? Any products that might work well? Would a thicker coat of polyurethane help?

Answer: Excess sunlight will, over time, fade even the best hardwood floors. Keeping curtains closed or having a diffuser curtain will cut down the incident UV that does the damage. Using louvres rather than blinds allows you to direct the sunlight up and away from the floor, bouncing it off the walls and ceiling. That drastically cuts down on any UV radiation reaching the floor. To protect flooring from fading unevenly, make it a point to rearrange the furniture from time to time. This will open different portions of the floor to sunlight and help to keep the appearance of the wood more or less consistent throughout the space.

I get that it's about aboriginal land rights, but what's the ethical issue there (has to be a "should" question) LYRICS: Out where the river broke The bloodwood and the desert oak Holden wrecks and boiling diesels Steam in forty five degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share Four wheels scare the cockatoos From Kintore East to Yuendemu The western desert lives and breathes In forty five degrees The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them Let's give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning The time has come To say fair's fair To pay the rent, now To pay our share The time has come A fact's a fact It belongs to them we're gonna give it back How can we dance when our earth is turning How do we sleep while our beds are burning

Answer: "Beds Are Burning" is a political song about giving native Australian lands back to the Pintupi, who were among the very last people to come in from the desert. These 'last contact' people began moving from the Gibson Desert to settlements and missions in the 1930s. More were forcibly moved during the 1950s and 1960's to the Papunya settlement. In 1981 they left to return to their own country and established the Kintore community which is nestled in the picturesque Kintore Ranges, surrounded by Mulga and Spinifex country. It is now a thriving little community with a population of about 400. Midnight Oil performed the song in front of a world audience of billions (including Prime Minister John Howard who has claimed this is his favorite Midnight Oil song) at the closing ceremony of the 2000 Sydney Olympics. The whole band were dressed in black, with the words "sorry" printed conspicuously on their clothes. This was a reference to the Prime Minister's refusal to apologize, on behalf of Australia, to the Aboriginal Australians for the way they have been treated over the last 200 years.
