    Default Identify Timber???

    I have attached a few images of a bowl I have just completed. Can anyone help with identifying the species?? I have been told Pink Ash but not too sure about that.

    If somebody told me it was Pink Ash, I couldn't argue the point or suggest any alternative - looks very much like it

    Good to see you're still spinning things Peter!

    Beautiful bowl Peter

    If you hadn't said Pink Ash, I would have said Mango.

    Good to see you're still spinning things Peter!

    Been busy, doing lots of turning. Have to go to Brisbane next week.I have been asked to contribute to an exhibition, "Hands Of The World" at the Francis Rush Centre. It only runs for four days - Opening on Friday night then From Saturday till Tuesday. Saw somewhere you were in Brissy that week???

    Forgot to mention that the wood is quite close grained and doesn't seem to be too splitty. Turns quite nicely. Definatly not mango.

    By the photos it looks like Camphor Laurel but that would be to easy as the smell would give it away.

    Hi Little Festo, although I take many years doing furniture, I do not know this wood, imagine that it will be original of Australia, what if I can say to you without being wrong, it is that it is beautiful, you have done a good work, congratulations.

    The colours remind me of a Hakea but it looks too fine grained.

    I reckon you could tell by the cherry smell, but the wood in your photo looks rather like our Black Cherry.
