Thread: A little help if possible please

Looks like Silky Oak to me. No idea how that relates to PBL though

Looks like Hairy Oak aka Stringy Bark Sheoak. Could be another variety of Sheoak, several have that type of grain pattern.

materials

Exotic Wood sheoak

looks like some snottygobble I had once. That would make the P for persoonia.

Snottygobble eh haha "excuse me has any seen my snottygobble pen?" where do these names come from?

Good god I just googled it and there is a "snottygobble"

Despite the horrible sounding name Snottygobble fruit is good to eat - if my memory serves me correctly.

Not like any Persoona I have seen, nor Silky Oak. Looks more like one of the Casuarinas or Allocasuarinas, which are commonly referred to as
She Oak, River Oak, |Forest Oak, Hairy Oak etc..

Allan,

It's Silky Oak as previously mentioned.......same as this Slimline I made some time ago - sorry about the backdrop........... put it on the chair to take piccie on

Regards.....Lee

Peter: "Looks like Silky Oak".
You could be right Peter, it looks similar to other blanks
I have of Silky Oak but not quite the usual grain. Thanks.
Switch62: Hairy Oak aka Stringybark Sheoak or another variety of Sheoak.
Thanks to you also. It is nothing like the Hairy Oak I have
on hand but you could be right about being a Sheoak.
Stuffy: Snottygobble:
I do have just one "Snottygobble" pen blank on hand which I received
from a friend in W.A. It was from a Snottygobble tree which is different
from the "Snottygobble" parasitic vine found here in Victoria. Will check
my pen blank supply and check it out. Thanks for your thoughts.
Artme: Sheoak, River Oak, Forest Oak, Hairy Oak.
Many thanks Arthur. Confident it is not Hairy Oak but will have a
look at the others.
Barkers Egg: Silky Oak.
Thanks for responding Lee, as mentioned above, it is similar
but not quite the usual grain I have experienced with Silky Oak.

Many thanks for taking the time to respond and offer your suggestions.

Alan it is possible that it might be prickly ash see the blanks here Prickly Ash Pen Turning Blanks - 10 Pack | eBay

I'd say definitely not Silky Oak nor Hairy Oak. My guess would be a casuarina, but there are many, and PBL doesn't ring any bells

Thanks Sam and Neil for trying.

Unfortunately not the same type of grain as the
Prickly Ash Sam.

This afternoon I took two more pens to the customer
but not the pen in question. I will keep it until I find
an answer.


They are members of the Australian Native Plant Society
and like to have the names correct. They now have eight
"fat pens" and today ordered two regular Slimlines.

Have to try and keep them happy.

Cheers,

Alan

You might have got the blanks from someone with a good sense of humour and they put PBL on them just to get us all stressing lol well done to the person who may have thought of that lol


Cheers Ian

By Gad I think you have it

The L may be Lacewood, which seems to be a pretty generic term fior this type of grain. No idea what the PB would be though
