Mr. Anonymous Game #17 @ 9/02/2015

[robutacion]

Hi peoples,

This 2015 year, is running quite fast, or is just me...??:biggrin:

I've got another easy question for this game, it is one from my stables that remindes be very much so, of one of the typical species of the USA, I think that canada, also has it, not 100% sure...!

The price will be the normal 500gr parcel with 8 of my hand selected blanks and they can be, anything...!

Winner pays for shipping @ AU$14.00 through Paypal to, nyodine@yahoo.com.au, thanks...!

Everyone is welcome to participate, I really would like to see more of the newer members to have a go, the only thing you need is to have a copy of my timber list, available on the top bar of my new web-store (address on my posts signature, below) and a little Google search on the species names that you think, may be a match. You may already know this wood, all the better...!:wink:

So, the question is;

What is the common name of this wood species, the scientific name is not applicable in this case, I need the name I have on the list, please...!




PS: Do you know that, I may write some clues on my posts, with the invisible ink...??? Yeah, just like that...!




Cheers
George

Hi peoples,



"Everyone is welcome to participate"

Hi George:
Haven't received my 2nd place prize from game #16 (PayPal sent 01/28) but, I assume we (first & second place finishers) are on the 30 day DL????
Otherwise, I'll guess Ed's Red Sassafras!

Those pictures of Colonial Red Gum are much lighter than the stuff I got a few months ago.

Tasmanian Pink Burl Wood

I doubt if it's Tasmanian Myrtle Burl or Pink Burl - George did say that it's on his timbers list and the only Tasmanian wood there is Tasmanian Blue Gum -- I suppose that might be a possibility, although this example doesn't quite look like George's photo:
Tasmanian blue gum, also known as Southern Blue Gum

Well , there is Pink/Rose gum

 

[1080Wayne]

And Blue River gum

 

[1080Wayne]

Yellow gum

 

[1080Wayne]

Spotted gum

 

[1080Wayne]

Curly/twisted gum

 

[1080Wayne]

And of course platypus gum . That should be enough to gum up the works .

George only said that it is not #9 Colonial Red Gum -- he did not say that no one has yet given a correct answer. I don't know if that means anything, but it might be worth consideration.

Look at the ends of the square blank and see how dark they are, its only wax but, that's what the colours turns to when wet/coated with anything...!

What were exactly the blanks you received from this wood species, the normal wood, such as the last 2 pics, the curly, the root, the burl...???

Yes, you are correct Edgar, is on my timbers list and is very Aussie, couldn't be more Aussie that this...!:wink:

Tasmanian Blue Gum trees are readily available/seen all around these areas, some in plantations and others planted around houses, yards, etc. They are know for not being as messy and dangerous as some of our most common Gum trees that drop dead branches all the time and some quite large.

Absolutely, after all, if I would be showing a cow's leg and ask what it was, would you say, a "cow" or a "steak"...???

Sure, is from a cow but, are all parts of the cow, all or look the same..???

[Skeleton2014]

Almond tree burl.

I'm on the DL but, I think that's a good answer... May I also toss out another suggestion: Arrrrrrrrrgh, I guess I'll have to wait for George's permission to chime in, oh well I'm pretty much all screwed up when it comes to these games.
