Re: Spectacular grain
It's actually black mulberry - Morus nigra. It's really hard, very close-grained and it does have a bit of ripple to it. I suspect the pink will fade out as it oxidises but the grain is really interesting.
No idea what I'll do with it, but it's better than using it for firewood. Alec |

Re: Spectacular grain
i felled a cotoneaster the other day, main stem about 6' x 1' lenght, was really surprised when 2 of us struggled to lift it, is this worth setting aside for milling?

Re: Spectacular grain
Would like to see it when it's dried/sanded/treated to see if those colours are still bright.... not had a chance to mill any mulberry yet...
