The first turning of the year/ I just had to go and turn something I have kept it simple as the wife kept asking for a bowl for the small coffee table to put fruit and sweets in for Christmas (well at least it will be ready for next Christmas:funny:). Measures 10 1/2" X 2"

Very nice indeed. Is that English or American Walnut. I was luck enough a few weeks ago to get some English.

Well done, Derek

Cheers
Frederick

I think English /wherever grown timber depends on local soil,so many variables. If they are simply classified by local names well anything is possible. Here in Australia one of my favourites Brown Mallee can have umpteen variations in differring parts of the country. Black lines, burl formations,spacing of growth rings denoting weather conditions etc,just in the few hundred I have left I revel in the differences.I gave a huge number of blanks over 60 kilos of cut blanks to a mate in Melbourne and I drove down to his in December with boxes and boxes of more blanks.I love Timber. Olive Wood is a classic for variations in different countries,in Australia it was commenced by early Immigrants bringing plants from Italy etc,some now are huge. In Tasmania a prized timber is what they call native Olive Wood.
