ID of my gloat
Woodlee has been trying to help me ID these alloy scrap bits I picked up FOC yesterday just e-mailed him photo's.
The numbers on the largest block is 212X145X75 No ON IT IS 251844
medium block has sticker with A12058 = AMS = QQA250/11 IS 175X93X51
Small block no No's is 145x40x70
Would appreciate any help regarding quality and possible use strength etc.

I'm fairly sure that it isn't timber but.... you may be able to make a pen out of it any way.

If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

Considering its in the Metal work section I guess not Cliff and as I do not make pens there's no chance

Put AMS-QQ-A250/11 into Google and you will get some sort of info.
It looks like either a marine or aircraft grade Ally alloy.
