Here are the clue and the photo for Week Three.
As before, you likely should hold your guesses until Dave (RarestWood) logs on and confirms I got things right!
This is the third wood quiz of the IAP birthday bash and we have something interesting and desirable. This timber is coniferous; the tree is unmistakable and is now planted as a specimen tree in arboretums. I found this timber on a recent visit to a Devon England craftsman's workshop he said if I could guess the timber I could have the whole board, I failed but he did give me some to turn as far as clues are concerned the wood is rarely found in commerce if ever and most users chance upon a tree already cut down or acquire windfall timber. This timber is said to be sacrosanct to a particular tribal group. This tree has been introduced and grows in most temperate regions of the world including the Americas, Europe and of course Australia. The blanks shown have little pin knots and will patinate over time to a light golden colour. We need the botanical name for this timber and the common name.
