Monkey puzzle

that's tiny mate, put it on the fire...

 

needs to be 18"+ before it's of any real use.

 

 

Whenever I've come into possession of MP I've struggled to get rid of anything bigger than 12" diameter because most turners' lathes can't handle it!

The smallest I've fond to be of interest was 6" dia.

yeah but my lathe's massive...

 

 

never actually liked turning the stuff myself but each to their own.

 

there will be one or two bits that would look good for the knots but the rest is for a very select market hence my suggestion for the fire.

 

 

i should have stated that i was referring to milling logs to be 18"+

se7enthdevil says burn the timber!

 

Only kidding...

 

what do you think of the wine table? I think the top inlay was a fossilised slice of the same timber.

I am sure Jackalope would be great full to you...
