second what kind of wood is this

[old folks]

One last time... what kind of wood is this. Thank you.

Just from the picture, I'd say it looks like a piece of antique pine that I have, But what the h*** do I know [] If you don't want that piece of wood, I could send you my address and a few bucks for postage [][]

53Jim would it be any good for turning pens ?

 

[53Jim]

I'm not sure... The only time I tried to turn it my tools were dull and I blew it out. I like the grain, though, maybe cut on an angle, so I may have to try it again this weekend. You have got my curiousity peeked.

Maybe somebody else know for sure what wood it is, but I like it.

Good luck in your search.

Jim

Looks like one of the pines or fur. Should turn fine.

With enough CA you can turn corn cobs.

It looks like douglas fir, How does it smell while turning. I got a small amount of this wood from a 100 year old paddle boat. Was a deck post. All but one pen will go back to the museum.
