    Yep jenny if you have four diferent pieces of wood they are the pen swap.
    Four pieces the same surian batu.

    Every body got at least two types of oak one is a real oak ( but not one you would expect), one isn't a real oak.

    some of you got pink bits (of wood) niel might know what they are... they came from his front yard.

    cheers

    Do you get colours, smells, hallucinations, throwing up, as well as pain?
    I get the head splitter headache - head exploding feeling, blurry vision and nausea - if I get on top of it quick enough I can usually manage it for the 3 or 4 days with lots of my La La tablets - La La 'cause I'm in La La land ofter I take them!!! Very mellow - think my classes like me better then!!:eek: :eek:

    As to woods, I would have guessed a sheoak or relative and maybe beech wood.

    Didn't want to be first to ask, so thanks for finally putting me out of agony. Now hope I can do justice to them.

    Cheers

    Spalted Curly English Elm?

    Whatever you call it, I hope I can find more!

    Can't tell which from which, but this one was split sort of diagonally, through the middle, down the side, etc:

    No probs,
