Thread: Denhamia wood?

Should have googled first. Answered my own question. Anyone used it? What's it good for? Looks kinda bland.

I treat my turning like my fishing listen to what everyone says and give it a whirl anyway!

Hmmm?!?! Did I send you some perhaps??!?!?! - the memory is like a sieve I've got both Stiff Denhamia (Denhamia Oleaster) and Veiny Denhamia (Denhamia Pittosporoides) on hand here. A little bit plain/bland for colour and grain but beautiful to turn Both covered on the website on the links above

Crikey Just had a look at your wikipedia link TL and I see they have a link to the Denhamia on my website Does that make me a celebrity

celebrity, guru, legend . . .

Not quite! The Hibiscus is more open-grained and much whiter but just as nice to turn

Sincerely hope to be there but the timing could be crook! - signing up to build a new house/shed combo on Saturday and the completion time will be about the same time as Prossy . On the upside, I'm taking a couple of months off to wire the shed and move in so what's a couple of days break in there somewhere!!
