I picked up some Ash at a steam rally from a man who was demonstrating a engine driven saw, see very short video of it being cut

I cut it into blanks and stored it. I did take a couple of pieces out after 6 months and hid it in the top of the airing cupboard for 6 weeks(don't tell the wife)
This bowl is one of the bits I was pleased at the grain I found inside as it did not show anything promising before turning.
Measures 8 3/4" X 1 3/4"
I have just been having a play with the camera set up and hope these show the finish a bit better.
