some of me turnings

Not my first goes by any means, but my first real pieces for a while.

The Bowl is Elm,

The Candle holder (for that is what it is) is Walnut (I think)

sorry for the shaky photos[/img]

A different perspective on grain pattern in the Elm Dave, what diameter are we looking at? I guess about 160mm. I would go along with Walnut for the holder.

Hi Dave, couple of nice pieces. The bowl 'Wych' Elm perhaps, with the green colour in it. Getting quite rare these days.

I didn't measure it till you asked the question, but 160mm is about right. impressed you could tell that from the picture.

And thanks to all for the positive comments, I didn't realise how nerve racking putting this stuff in the public domain to see would be.

As to the Elm, all it said on the label was Elm - I assumed the green was mold? I bought this blank, and a bunch of others from a place in the lake district called "The Alpaca Centre" http://www.thealpacacentre.co.uk/ they had a really well stocked warehouse full of some lovely home grown and exotic woods - completely in the middle of nowhere! It's amazing what you find on Holiday isn't it!
