Whats this?

[Aunt Maud]

I don't have that processor, but I'm guessing that the measurements on the yellow scale in pic 2 are 50mm increments, and the diameter of the hole for the stop is 10mm.

 

So if I'm right it's 10-12 rings to the inch.

[skyhuck]

If thats Pop I'm a Russian

Populus x canadensis.

 

For once I'm not taking the proverbial!

 

 

Great stuff,I thought maybe predictive had done it for you.

I thought it was Alder when i first cut it, and i think skyhuck is correct.

It is very dry, and the picture doesnt show the full colour of the wood.

 

As said, it must be young, and very fast grown.

 

The end grain was what put me in doubt, it is very softwood like

send me a bit if you want and i'll try to id it properly.

It's almost certainly alder. The first picture my thoughts were pine by the way the chip has come loose. Then the next pictures I thought alder. The final picture of the bark confirms that it is alder.

You can't judge the fact that the grain has come loose at the end as a way to ID wood. Am I right about it having 12 rings to the inch ?
