    Default WA Lace Sheoak

    Good Morning Ladies and Gentlemen
    Please find attached some good WA Lace Sheoak recently milled by Derek Doak of Naval Base WA.
    I don't have any in my timber selection, but fortunately, Derek gave me some. I have cut them into pen blanks and slowly drying in them in my kiln (okay, I don't have a kiln but they are on the floor in front of the wood fire drying?

    It is alleged that Lace Sheoak occurs in 1 in a 100 trees. Not sure what causes it, but it surely excites us wood turners when we see some.

    Cheers
    Willy

    Certainly my pick for w.a. timber (closely followed by blackbutt)
    Surprised you didn't have a stash of it (maybe forgotten about?) But glad your collection is complete now!

    Reminds me of a beautifully marbled piece of beef.

    My favourite too. The first ever proper turning I did was a small Sheoak bowl and ever since its been a special bit of timber to me. Thanks for sharing!

    Not sure where you heard that, perhaps better in some trees compared to others, but all your WA Sheoak trees have medulla rays and the lace grain just depends on how the logs are cut
