recycled .... pine?

[mrs. sliver]

Just thought I'd add this, I did the photos in case anyone at the fayre was interested in how things are made.

I am not sure what the wood is exactly,certainly not good for turning! NOT hardwood! but you know me! if it is wood and it is free I'll give it a go!


rescued from a muddy builders yard where they were awaiting chopping and burning

Good reason for not turning this!

But then I got a split that still showed after my repair job, so I painted it ,

and this is the night view

There I think I've swamped the site enough for one day :lol:

Great 'rescue' job ! !

The finished article is great !
looks like the timber was erm... "challenging" ! :lol:

Brilliant 'save' ... nice one Mrs S 8) 8) 8)

does look a little like tearout pine or tearout spruce, definitely a species of tearout :roll: :roll:

By the looks of it - you've got some Pitch pine there, from the stuff I've had - there's 2 distinct types: one that's nice to turn and yours ! - did it smell resinous and was it hard to cut, gumming up your tools ?

If you really liked it.....I've probably got about 4 cubic feet left !

Yes it did smell resinous, as to me liking it ..... erm ..... not really. and as you can see from the first photo, I still have a fair bit to play with! :roll:
