It was better than the bit of hawthorn (i think it was hawthorn)

From my brothers log shed that split in two:blushing:

[se7enthdevil]

the other bit is a pine species not hawthorn.

[toejam266]

It's a bit of 100+ year old floor joist

Here's the other one patched up with some maple flooring

It's only 7"x4"

[toejam266]

That should be 5"x3":blushing:

[se7enthdevil]

i'm surprised you say that was a joist, it's a bit of cherry...

[toejam266]

I think i'm confusing things here

The one above is what i think is hawthorn

As it is out of a log pile, and you say it's cherry then it's cherry:biggrin:

I gave a friend of mine (Graham Hall) some slabs of spalted beech and this is the result! The largest one is 24" wide and was, apparently, " a right b@stard pain in the ass" to turn

A few of this years bowls. All elm. A simple one from a 4inch plank, a small burr with acrylic center (with that glow in the dark blue powder) and a lovely piece of heavily burred elm. The burr elm was a piece that was going to be put in the firewood pile but i thought it might come out nice. I call it the firewood bowl
