    looks like a common plum to me (often only a little patch of colour in the center) and looks like a sycamore loog too.

    forget the lathe, handcraft your own. http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/woodcraft-forum/75154-axe-handle.html it's much more satisfying...

    just seen this on youtube, cracked me right up. . [ame] [/ame]

    you're showing it by saying that. you do not under any circumstance use a skew whilst turning a bowl. mulberry is a bit of a bugger if left as a log but split it down the pith (avoiding the burrs of course) and it can shrink radially without building up tension and eventually splitting. seal the endgrain as much as you can and leave them in a dark not too dry place. you can rough turn the bowls and cover in pva to be extra careful, this should yield better results...

    send me some pics mate, it's a great turner so i'd be interested in it anyway.

    medlar?
  8. se7enthdevil
    which species of magnolia is it? he already has greenheart thanks.
  9. se7enthdevil
    as it's obviously an unusual timber i'll take it for turning and getting a sample from.
  10. se7enthdevil
    osmanthus???
  11. se7enthdevil
    thanks for the offer but he has those species already and they are a bit on the skinny side.
  12. se7enthdevil
    it'll be an interesting experiment beau but you must remember that it will depend entirely on the species and also how humid the air is in the first place. stick a hygrometer in the area you are going to test it and check periodically what the humidity is. try this using a range of species and get an average between the lot. oak (varying common species) beech (spalted and unspalted) ash elm sycamore hornbeam birch maple hawthorn horse chestnut sweet chestnut cherry apple if you can test all these perhaps with the common softwood species as well you will get an accurate result.

    who said i was expensive? i can do cheap if it doesn't need to look good. what diameter is the post?
  14. se7enthdevil
    how many are there? i could turn you what you need...
  15. se7enthdevil
    still interested in any other unusual samples if anyone is taking anything down. 4" diameter and up are of interest. what you got????
  16. se7enthdevil
    give ebay a once over, you never know what you'll find. why do you not want red deal if you are happy to have WRC or Doug Fir??? the grain patterns are fairly similar...
  17. se7enthdevil
    doesn't mean it's a different species... beech can have what's called redheart which is just a coloration of the heartwood in either red or brownish hues. does it look like this? .
  18. se7enthdevil
    if that's "Quercus frainetto" i'll take it. what species is the beech?
  19. se7enthdevil
    those three species would be great, blackthorn is listed as a species i want but i lumped it under prunus species... either way i'd love all three, what sizes are the blackthorn and hawthorn???
  20. se7enthdevil
    what would you want for say a foot of it?
  21. se7enthdevil
    kriscarp0 | eBay
  22. se7enthdevil
    i have both of them but thanks for the offer. might be interested in the sumac if it's big enough, what size is it?
  23. se7enthdevil
    what is that??? can i see some pictures? deffo interested mate, what sort of size is it?
  24. se7enthdevil
    i was the same, it had nothing to do with any sum of money no matter how much anyone claimed we would be better or worse off, i voted out because i wanted the sovereignty of our great country back. we should not have a load of brussels rules to follow as well as our own.
