Ash / Sycamore or similar showing pip / burr

[MaverickGR]

I have a client wanting me to turn some cylinders in an interesting timber for them to use as sidetables etc in a house.

 

Does anyone have any ash/sycamore or something like that which is likely to show some interesting grain?

 

I need to turn 500mm diameter by 300mm tall and 400mm diameter by 460mm tall. If you have more then I would potentially buy for stock etc.

 

I have attached a couple reference images

Hi those cylinders will most likely crack but maybe an iorn band top and bottom would help keep the shape so you don't end up with a wonky table, I did similar with a big ball in a cage that cracked, I have an off cut of Walnut that may work its been down a good few yrs but I would say its still green I am not at my yard till Friday now but if you want a picture just let me know I also have some western red off cuts but how interesting is that where are you as you are welcome to come and have a look in the yard

I am in Ashford, Kent but get about a bit with work or potentially can use a pallet network

 

I think that walnut is going to be too dark for this project, but thankyou
