with you on this steve, taken loads of these prunus down around here , very hard to dry out, so dense ,and prone to some nice fungi, most of the hawthorn I take down is slightly more yellow/orangey colour! (but hey could be wrong)

ditto steves coments! -
lol didnt think you`d be far behind on this one james! (did you get it?)
-
yes thats why I stained it as it seeps in the end grain, my sheets fitted into a wooden framework so are protected , make sure the roof ones go over the top of the side ones thus hiding the side panels from the elements, I went with 12mm over 18mm as theres a big difference in weight, but sure its only a matter of prefrenace.
-
nice steve, like the spatulas, would have liked the pestle and mortar in another wood,,as you know hate tropical woods, but the shape and form is spot on,,lol
-
that should be fine, built my box from 12mm ply and then sadolin ebony exterior stain then added signs been going stong for over five yrs!
-
looks like a prunus of some sort , you`ll do well to stop it spliting, and my advice would be to cut it in half straight away to allow the tension to release! then you can use end grain seal, or just white emulsion,some people use pva glue! the next step would be too rough turn the bowl blank and get rid of some unwanted timber!
