cheers mate, looking forward to the blanks.
-
UK grown E, gunnii is still as dense as the average oak once dry but has a higher calorific value according to the oils in the timber. ash burns to almost nothing as well. the eucalyptus species native to australia vary so much in weight it is unreal but because the genus is so large it's probably better to think of it as a class of wood in its own right. -
ok not native but it grows here on a big scale. when bone dry it burns like rocket fuel.
-
offcuts of a wood called azobe are the dogs wotsits... native trees though would be yew and eucalyptus.
-
that's the sort of job you leave for a good sized rip saw that will have tct blades. they go right through mild steel.
-
the bases were fun to do... yes the shapes are all different due to who plays with what. don't forget that these were generally turned by a local bloke in the league and they usually had there own idea of what a pin should look like. now they are all gone and it's almost just me that turns them.
-
pheew, that's the lot. next update in a few months...
-
here is the big 15" pagoda bowl i finished from the tree local to me. pagoda is such a beautiful timber. .
-
done a few bowl recently to as i had my annual craft fair last weekend. .
-
i also made him a chisel handle from laburnum (the original is boxwood) of which i have been asked to do a few more. .
-
wehey, no more skittles....... for a while anyway. just done these two column bases this week for a local joinery. made from tulipwood that the customer glued up badly they are 18" at the base and 8 1/2" thick when constructed. it was my idea to put in a central dowel to make it easier to construct the lot perfectly concentric when he comes to glue and screw them together.
-
this last lot all went to one customer. two sets of 10"x5" somerset style pins +3 spare and two kingpins (which i nearly forgot about) with two sets of 5" balls + one spare.
-
just for fun here are some more skittles.
-
surprise surprise even more skittles and balls.
-
back to the skittles.
-
then i did these for a mate of mine. 5-5 1/2" balls in lots of different species mostly from africa.
-
getting there, obviously there are lots more pictures but this one was a nice change to do. effectively it is a trophy for one of the sticker uppers as they were retiring.
-
let's start with the skittles.
-
well it's been a few months since i've had time to add stuff on here so get ready for an influx of photos and guess what, even more pins and balls...
-
agreed, well worth it but mill it into big ol mantle beams rather than planks...
-
if it's a gloss finish you want then don't use an oil...
-
i wonder what the statistics are for this happening around the world??? i remember a US article afew years ago and they showed a pic of the shredder from a distance but you could still see nothing but red in the back of the truck.
-
with nice medullary rays like that it is 100% oak but can't say which species.
-
always loved al murray.

Can someone help me identify this lovely tree?
se7enthdevil replied to pushingdaisys's topic in Tree Identification pictures
definitely a podocarp but you may have to wait till it flowers to find out which one.
