The first person to name these seven woods correctly in order in this thread, I will post at my cost the 3kg free chunk of wood. Good luck!

Cheers
Bernie

[funkychicken]

Closer ups please

Uhh a camphor, bunya pine and mango?

[BernieP]

G'Day Funkyfella

You have one right, if no one has guessed by Friday I'll put up bigger pics.

Cheers
Bernie

[funkychicken]

Huon Pine?

[Caveman]

G'day Bernie - not sure you'd enjoy posting it all the way out here (so I'll refrain from guessing - also I wouldn't get any correct anyway so your safe there!).

Nice Cattleya (that's what it looks like from here anyway).

[BernieP]

G'Day Andy

Yes one of my wife's collection, I make sawdust in the shed and she breeds orchids in her greenhouse next door. We meet occasionally in the fernery between them and have a cup of tea. Gee its good to be getting older and retired.

Cheers
Bernie

[BernieP]

G'Day Funky

1. red cedar
2 sesbania
3 black wood
4 mango
5 red gum
6 camphor laurel
7 silver wattle

[BernieP]

G'Day Toni

Sorry didn't realize how hard it was so will attach close up of first few, good luck

Cheers
Bernie

[Dean]

1. ??
2. Mango?
3. Camphor?

[BernieP]

G'Day Dean

Number 3 is right, that's the sort of figure in block I'm offering, so can't make it too easy.

Cheers
Bernie

[rsser]

Reckon no. 2 is some kind of native 'pine' like Hoop or Bunya; or maybe Norfolk.

The bluestain is the telltale.

[BernieP]

G'Day Ern

Your right is a pine but one of the more obscure ones! Any suggestions how I can make this easier? should I list the names and people match or what? Have bought the parcel pack ready to send. Have pics of the other ones (larger) should I post them?
And if I put up names common or scientific? Lot of questions eh!
Cheers
Bernie

[rsser]

Bigger pics would be good Bernie.

Would guess no. 5 but don't want to make a bigger fool of myself ;-}

And yeah, list and match sounds good.

[Dean]

Yeah bigger pics, preferably showing the grain as well will helps lots.

Some more guesses:

1. Mahogany of some type, or could even be a rosewood perhaps going by color? Hard to tell without seeing grain

2. Radiata Pine :p:p:p Maybe you are tricking us with that "obscure" word :)

3. Camphor (we got this one already)

4. Eucalypt burl?

5. Mallee burl of some type?

[Zarguld]

that easy it is wood from seven different trees.:cool:

[BernieP]

G'Day Zarguld

Some names would help here's some bigger pics. Can't do too big or you would see my mistakes!

Cheers
Bernie

Thanks for having a go, I will give a choice of some different wood as prize for anyone who doesn't want camphor but can't name yet as would give it awayhttp://www.woodworkforums.ubeaut.com.au/images/icons/icon10.gif
