What Paul said

My experience with cherry has been the same - it seems to move more than any other timber I've used.

Just short of Rotten Paul, but did not need CA stiffening, just the odd radial crack needing reinforcing.

Yes was your sort Pete, storm victim earlier this year, 90% of branch was full of worms, heaven knows how they got 30 ft up the tree.

Hi Chas,

I have just come back from a fortnight on a little Greek island down in the Dodecanese. If anyone has a spare £10,000 they don't want I found a lovely little workshop with accomodation and loads of olive and cypress trees and no wood turners on the island. Ideal to laze the days away floggomg the odd turning to tourists for an occasinal ouzo and a squid meal.
:lol:

Nice - the more I see it (and use it),the more I like the grain patterns in ash.

Andrew

 

[Bodrighy]

Not so sure about ash myself. I've just got hold of a couple of pieces and will post when turned. Not so keen on the piney type graining in the pieces I've got. See what they look like when finished. The grain on your work looks much better Chas and your usual impeccable finish.

Pete

 

[CHJ]

.... The grain on your work looks much better....
Pete

Pete, These pieces of Ash are from a tree growing in shallow soil on top of cracked limestone, so I assume that the growth rate is slower leading to a closer grain pattern than some.

All very nice Chas
The Beech one is my favourite.Like the shape,and colour.
