G'day when we travelled back from the states with a lot of wood in our luggage we just declared it and they checked it over and said all good! If you can show them receipts that you purchased the stuff in proper shops and the pieces are lacquered then they were pretty happy with that. Mrs Tiki Beat went to Fiji last year and she bought back lots of little wooden things and as long as they didnt have evidence of living creatures - holes etc, then the customs people were happy. Like I said if the travellers are straight up and declare the stuff then the customs people are pretty easy to get along with. Hope this helps you out
