I cant remember the type of timber but it came from my mate George (robutacion)]
G'day Mark,
It would be a good habit, if you look at the blanks' end grain (one end) and look at the identification number written on it, and note it down, somewhere...!
:wink::biggrin:
That blank is from my old #29 Lucerne tree wood. There were 2 types of wood in that old tree, some very hard and colourful wood near some parts of the tree bark and the rest of the wood that made for 90% of it, where the wood had spalted and transformed into this lighter colour soft wood with some dark brown strips from the spalting. A quite different spalting than the one seen in most other trees but, this was never suppose to be a tree but a

ere and then a bowl I made for the tree owner, from that same tree wood,
here
I still got some of that wood cut into pen blanks but since, I cut another Lucerne tree from the local Golf course boundary fence line, here
For this reason, both woods are still about...!
Cheers
George
