100% correct, the second from the right is canadian hard maple.
-
no, no, and no. the four on the left are tropical and only found in either africa or south america. the others are native except 2nd from right which you would find in canada.

i like to think i know the name of the timber when i see it so i'm giving a few people the chance to show me up for how little i really know. this is for everyone to have a go at so if you have an unusual timber then post it and we'll see who can guess correctly. here is the first test. can you name any of these timbers??? .

agreed, cracking stuff....

for a blank that weighed 70 kg it was balanced to start with, wish they were all like that.

blackthorn?

at the other end of the scale i'm looking at making table skittles equipment including the tables themselves. here are a few test pins. 6" tall by 2 5/8" wide (4 1/2" up) and just under 1 3/4" wide at the base. .

this will be the biggest bowl i'm able to do with this walnut. 28" wide by 6" deep. that's my size 12 boot in the middle. .

boredom sparks the greatest creative work in my opinion.

as a mere 31 years old i can not begin to understand what it must have been like during those times but my dad who was born during the war used to tell me about what he remembered from his childhood. to all the men and women children all over the world i say thank you. i will never forget about what i've been watching not just today but over the last 20 years that they've put on all those documentaries, i've learned alot and will do my best to remind the younger generations that we (and they) have so much to be thankful for. me and my brother will go there one day to pay our respects properly.

by the title of the thread i though i was going to see a carving of a number two:lol:
-
wouldn't a pixie have pointy ears? nice carving though...
-
i used to have about 4 or 5 but sold them. i sold alot of my stuff to simon hurley at rothko and frost and may have sold them to him. We Are Rothko and Frost give him a call and see if he still has them, they were about the size you say you need.

types of timber would be best suited to this would be, oak, ash, beech, sweet chestnut, larch, cedar, douglas fir, elm (if you can find it), plane, sycamore or a scots pine. you should be able to get all these trees up to 24" and wider.

last year you may remember i made the frame for the london skittles club. you can see the project on page four of this thread. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/woodcraft-forum/60100-all-my-woodwork-so-far-4.html i made the top layer from canadian hard maple but after only 14 months worth of play it's wearing a little faster than they (and i) anticipated. traditionally they were made from hornbeam but it's hard to get these days so we settled for the maple. they contacted me thinking it could be something that could be done in the future so i'm seeing who has some.

what about me... surely they are marketed for people with my hair colour? i'm a redhead, occasionally called a copperknob:lol:
-
a factual description for once
-

Wahl 5537-715 Medalist Battery Men Hair and Beard Trimmer Clipper Kit New 043917553719 | eBay being a very hairy man i would be pointless me wet shaving all the time as it would look like my face had gone bald. i use the trimmers once every two to three weeks.
