Whats this?

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.

 

Yeah 50mm increments.

This is what I was thinking of when I said dry alder. It's by some oak for comparison.

 

I'm not saying the original picture isn't alder, I'll leave that to people more qualified than me. I was just delivering some earlier so took a picture.

Have you got a uv lamp? :-)

alder is non reactive to uv light so that won't help...

I had a peep at the high mileage CO2 positive firewood at the local builders merchant, they've crates full of the stuff at under £50/ kiln dried neatly stacked cube, seems like a good deal.

Cut a shaving off the end of one with a Stanley knife, so we can see the end grain properly.

Oh well dismiss it totally then as clearly it's not relevant...

I would argue it is relevant, this will be "non reactive to uv light" and confirm that I'm correct with Alder
