i am looking for anything out of the ordinary.

 

looking for any willows

hop hornbeam,

hazels,

southern beeches,

strange oak species,

elms,

zelkovas and nettle trees,

fig or katsura tree,

magnolias,

hawthorns,

rowans and unusual sorbus species,

unusual prunus species,

pagoda and strange acer's,

paulownia,

mana ash,

and any unusual conifers please

 

 

if you think you can help the please contact me through my website.

 

samples need to be fairly clear and unspalted from a tree at least 8" wide.

 

 

of course if any other exotice timbers are kicking around in your garage then i may be interested in them too.

What sizes of samples are you looking for?

Also you after discs or flat timber?

[se7enthdevil]

just a small block will do. the samples he likes are 4"x4"x1" as if cut from a milled board of timber. i can cut these myself and am perfectly happy to buy branches or rounds as on occasion i can give him a photo of a turned bowl as well.

 

 

do you have any interesting woods?

[se7enthdevil]
