I scored 5 of these blanks and very sadly there are no more.

These three are sanded only to 400g, no other finish yet, even the bottoms have not been done. But I reckon the colour is just fabulous and I couldn't wait any longer to show you.:biggrin::biggrin:

The largest one of these is 8in diameter.

Can anyone tell me what the wood is, I have an idea but am not sure??????:confused:

Cheers,

Bob.

Wow Bob, looks amazing. Great color contrast!!! Beautiful stuff. Not sure about the species but I am sure it is in the rules that you have to share EVERYTHING with us not just these :biggrin:
 
Bob,


It's really hard tell from the pictures. I think I could identify, I'll send you my address and let you know when it arrives.

No worries on compensation, my services would be free of charge.
 
Maybe I should have said genus instead of genius?

I'll go with:
spalted blue gum
cape beech
tulipwood

keep in mind, while I have probably made 500 guesses at wood species over the past year, I was right once!
 
Looking at the out side edges, I'd go with spalted English Walnut.

Many would say "You know nothing PaulDoug"

Beautiful wood and a nice job turning and finishing it.

OK. None of the guesses are even close, so I will have to tell you what it is.
It most certainly is a freak of nature that occurred in this tree and will probably never be repeated.
It is an Australian Wattle (Acacia), and known in the area where it grows as "GOLDEN WATTLE". This particular tree was branded "NEW GOLDEN WATTLE" as the colours were so different from previous collections by the Guy I got it from.

Thank you for playing.:wink:

Bob.
 
Bob, I'm almost going to have to ask you to stop with the pictures. You are giving me "bowl envy." Beautiful, as usual! Russ

Well, that "guy" you got them from, is a lucky bastard to get wood like that, in the first place and you may be right, getting another tree with that sort of colours and grains, would a super find and you would have lot more blanks to play with, huh...???

Maybe, they weren't his last blanks in stock...!:wink::biggrin:

Nice stuff, mate...!:smile:

Cheers
George
