unusual timbers needed please

[se7enthdevil]

hi all, I've a friend in the states who has a great website that has loads of different timbers from around the world listed on it and a few years ago i sent a package of about a hundred samples.

 

would appreciate anyone sending me a sample of any unusual species they can get there hands on.

 

these would include things like judas, whitbeam, zelkova, hazel, mullberry, blackthorn, rowan, pagoda and anything that is not run of the mill be it softwood or hardwood wet or dry.

 

unspalted samples would be best

 

will be interested to see what people have...

 

here's his site,

The Wood Database | Hardwood and Softwood Lumber Identification

How bigger bits are you needing?

Will have a look see what I still have when I'm round the Farm Next week, Got to go sort a lintle for my mate's New log burner so will look then.

[scraggs]

can possibly help out on the robinia if it's not desperate and can wait until i'm in the yard with a saw next.

I have most of the timbers you asked for sat up the yard, am only in Gerrards cross so not too far from you if you'd like to have a rummage through the wood pile.
