Can anyone tell me what kind of wood this is?
It is very hard but not overly heavy. No smell to it eithar as I first suspected that Ed found this in a damp corner somewhere before sending it to me as a freebie. Hehe, he must have thought I needed a new challenge.
The ends were split so bad that I decided to square them and add some pieces to the end so I could turn it.
I've had some maple with worm holes like this but I can't imagine getting the green dye to penetrate like this.
It was an ugly blank to start with and it doesn't look much better now that it is turned.
