What's this yellow wood?

[se7enthdevil]

i had a bit of mahonia given to me recently and the bark looks nothing like the picture so i don't think it's a mahonia.

 

acacia has a rancid smell and a 1/2" of white sapwood so would be easily identifiable.

 

here is what mahonia bark looks like.

Thought we had settled on Mahonia a month ago:001_tongue:

 

Will never know now as its been cut up and drying in my father in laws shed awaiting turning into something.

I have never seen Berberis anything like that thick. I could believe it is Mahonia, though. Would love to know what is like to work.

Anything thats large diameter, yellow as posible, about two inches thick and cheap.

A man i know, owns a cnc mill, and he owes me a favour, and our gates are getting about nakerd between the drive and the patio. So woman has told me to get my family crest machined into a piece of yellow wood. Family crest is black and yellow, so machine to a short depth all the black, apply blow lamp and sand off.

One yellow and black family crest.
