Mr. Anonymous Game #2 @ 4/8/2014

[robutacion]

Hi peoples...!

Time to get your heads thinking and get the answer right. This time, will only be 1 (one) prize, that has been already selected number of blanks (8), that were all listed on my new web-store, eBay store or spoken of here, at some time or other.

I will be satisfied with the wood species name only, for each of the blanks, the numbers from my "timber list" when applicable, can also be mentioned...!

In case no one provides all the correct wood species names, the person that has the most correct names by the end of 7 days from today, will get the prize.

Winner will pay the shipping/freight costs, for international members, that will be AU$13.00 (500gr parcel), while members within Australia, will pay AU$8.25 (lucky Aussies, huh...???:biggrin

So, the question is;

*- What are the wood species names (numbers, optional) of the blanks shown in the picture...???

PS: Did you ask something...???:wink: you though that I forgot the add the pic, didn't you..??? Hahahah, just checking, the pic is here
The pic will be downloaded directly into this thread, after the winner has been found.

Good luck...!:wink:

Cheers
George

Update

edohmann and Ironwood,

Some very interesting guesses there, and I can see why a couple of them are making you guys and gals scratch your heads, was sort of deliberate however, I can say that, both are stabilized and one is triple stabilized, something that I don't do often but I did to see what I far I could go with this wood. One comment was that, I could make look good even a piece of rubbish wood (or something of that nature...!:wink

As for the other one, last one, yes it does look like the Cigar wood, but at a closer look, as this was the reason why I downloaded it on my Photobucket account so that you can expand to really, big size image but unfortunately, is not the Cigar wood...!

This is certainly a recent(ish) and quality bunch of blanks I put together for this prize, all up for grabs...!:biggrin:

Cheers
George

Well, generally speaking, you are quite correct, there is certainly an woddy element in all them however, not good enough for the prize, sorry.

Seriously, I think you can do a lot better than that, many of my wood species, have been shown and spoken of, many times on IAP, learning to recognize Aussie or George's woods, is no different than recognizing woods of many other origins sure,most Aussie woods are not as popular as some of the same ou , same ou you see and find everywhere, one more reason to become familiar with them, there will be plenty of them to go around...!

Oh, I know I can do better. I probably have a few of those species from George's Timbers in my blank drawer . I just didn't have the time to put my full effort into it so I just thought I'd get my entry in.:biggrin:

[robutacion]

Well, no one has got it right, so far however, it seems that #4 and #8 are the ones causing all the confusion, and this was somehow expected...!

I can say that, someone has guessed right the #8, he was the only person that did so while the #4, has not been mentioned yet.:frown:

It seems that is much a consensus about the rest of the blanks so, you guys and gals, are getting closer...!:biggrin:

Hi peoples,

Just a little "push"...!

One of the 2 woods you people are getting stuck on, I actually had to back the trailer into the fence, use my aluminium bike ramps over it and push the wood up the ramps and down to the trailer because, the idiot that had cattle there (small paddock) on adjustment, didn't like me much and wouldn't open the gate for me, while the property owner, already had given me permission to take the wood, that was only going to be burn, anyway...!:wink:

I have told the story here on IAP, some time ago...!:biggrin:

Do you recall something of this nature...???

PS: Far too many people, has 6 answers (wood species) right, I'm looking for the 8 correct answers person, who will that be...???

Cheers
George

[robutacion]

Well, is anyone actually taking any notice on my clues, I reckon you guys are so focussed in the possible wood species names that you aren't taken any notice of the clues themselves. Surely, some of you will recall some of my wood stories and look in the right place. I never said that all these blanks are only listed on my new web store, in fact and now that I think of it, is only one of the "trick" species that is not, most have sold and I kept a couple for myself, including this one that will now, be given awat to someone.

I don't really enjoy, throwing a spanner in the works but, I may need to take some of you out of misery and confuse things even more, probably but, there is one thing that the following wood species have in common;

-Scarlet Kunzea Shrub
-Australian Blackwood
-Colonial Red Gum
-Cootamundra Wattle
-Bottlebrush
-Lucerne
-Golden Wattle
-Shiraz Vine
-Brown Mallee Burl
-Cigarwood
-Silky Oak
-Curly/Twisted Gum
-Bottlebrush tree Root
-Australian almond tree wood
-White wattle
-Rubber Wood
-Macrocarpa

None of them are part of this 8 blanks pack...!:wink::biggrin:

And about that...??? will it make things easier, now...!

One of the most "tricky" ones, of the 2 everyone seems to be having troubles with, may have something to do with the "ocean"...! Humm, I think that I may have said, too much...!:redface:

George
