Started turning this green piece of Jacaranda root yesterday.:) There were still green shoots coming from the bark in a few places, even though it has been sitting wrapped in plastic bags for a few months.:eek:
I dug up the trunk and cut it into 4 pieces. First one I rough turned almost immediately and the wood was clear white, second one about a month later and that was still fairly white but this one is showing some promise.:biggrin:
I will leave the last piece for a few more months to see what happens.
The 3 rough turned pieces are packed away in the original shavings.:biggrin:
C&C Welcome.
Bob.

Hi Bob,

The blue stain you are seeing on the wood, tends to develop quite rapidly, as soon as the conditions are right. The chances are that, the bluing will continue "travelling" towards the lighter wood and cover it almost so, will be interesting to see what the wood will do, in a couple of months...!:wink:

Cheers
George
