    Default Blank look. Hoop pine

    Long story short, covered in another thread somewhere, a bloke cut a pile of hoop pine at my place & for some reason, he never took it all away so I ended up with 2 piles on hoop pine that had been treated for blue stain.

    Anyway, they have been sitting in the weather for a while so although they were treated for blue stain, it didn't stop some of the other mould getting it.

    I stuck one lose pile away in a shed last year so it wouldn't blow away in Yasi. The other pile was still strapped & was fine.

    I've needed some bit of timber for odds & sods so I'd cut a bit up & ot was still in fairly good order so I hacked out a bowl blank & gave it a rough out & a course sanding to see what it looked like.

    Excuse the scratches & the torn grain, I did this in 20minutes to see what it was like.

    Looks promising doesn't it?

    I did that last Sunday arvo, this arvo I got stuck into a couple of planks & made some bowl blanks.

    Ruler is there to show the size.

    I had a mate with a crane truck move the strapped stack closer to my shed.... there would be about 120 more bowl/platter blanks in that pile & at least another 20 in the shed waiting to be cut up.

    The lighter coloured parts are a bit spalted & have some borer holes as well, some of it is a bit punky already.

    Nice timber to turn and finish. Fine grain. Hard to find it in big lumps without bluestain.
    Cheers, Ern
