they should be referred to as scientific or botanical names really and i'm still well behind with my tree species just in the UK but i've learned loads of the botanical names for any of the wood species i've used over the last 15 or so years and not all of them stick so need refreshing from time to time. pronunciation is a bit hit and miss. it can be difficult when there are literally tens of thousands...

Can anyone identify this timber?
se7enthdevil replied to Beardie's topic in Tree Identification pictures
i think bob is correct with his guess. keruing it appears to be. -
the wood database is in print. world of woods by William A Lincoln. Wood identification and use by Terry Porter.

whats a podcast? i've heard the word but i've no idea what i means.

i think he had a coastal redwood which is Sequoia sempervirens.
-
i suppose it's just my interest... for some reason i am fascinated about timber.
-
lucky sod, wish we could get wood like that these days. the only time i've seen timber like that has been from old snooker table sides i have. they were Sequoia sempervirens, liriodendron tulipfera, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Picea sitchensis. all old growth...

nice looking lumber. was there even a single knot in that log???
-
drill holes in it and fill it with diesel. that should kill it.
-
it says they have a white to yellow bark. they look grey in the photos.

Eucalyptus nitens is used for timber. any resemblance?
-
boring the tits off people is usually my job but i won't commit to the species. i'm thinking Eucalyptus nitens though.
-
do you know exactly what species of euc this was? E, gunnii and E globulus do not usually grow in the manner of logs you have unless forest grown so i wonder if it is a different species that the splitting waste of wood we are all used to?

hi all, urgently need some dry boards of any of these woods to make serving platters from. they need the waney edge on them as unblemished as possible. need to make about a dozen that are 18" long and 12 wide by 3/4" thick. who can help?

Does your Facebook business page bring you in work?
se7enthdevil replied to Steve Bullman's topic in Business Management
true to a point but my facebook page is a long list of previous jobs i have done for customers so in my case i use that as the advert rather than my own webpage but customers can reach me through either method. if facebook is to be used as a method to get customers to employ you then should you not treat both FB and your own webpage with equal care??? -
as stated it may warp a bit but you need to cut all the components you need for the job over sized and then bring them in the house to finish their drying for a few months. once dry you can then make the zoo.
-
here is a truncheon i made for a mate that was very satisfying to finish as the wood shows any defects if you get it wrong. the wood is called Wenge.
-
no, i always sand for those types of jobs to give a uniform finish and these needed a key for paint so i brushed them with 120g but they didn't need much.
-
it's just superglue dribbled into anything soft or that has loose bits in voids.
-
the rest aren't bad either. they range from 6" to 12".
-
and all this is some great cherry given to me by rough hewn last year. these two are 14" and 15 1/4" and nicely figured.
-
these are some nice wide laburnum the biggest at 14"...
-
also been roughing out more bowls in preparation for my fair in september. these are pagoda crotch with some fab ripple.
-
a few little jobs i've been doing recently. staircase bits, more skittles and cutting and turning some cherry plum. .
