A friend of mine owns a manufacturing business making container homes and we built it over a long time after hours. It cost R15k. We recently mounted it on a small trailer and im currently branding and finishing it off as its going to be a small business catering at markets and entertainment venues. Heres my logo.

I read that if you season and strip the bark off black wattle it has the same taste profile as hickory, the Aussies smoke with it. But use it lightly as it has a strong flavour.
