Hi everyone
If anybody is still up for providing any samples from these (or other) species, please PM me and we'll sort the details.
We are happy with small samples (120x40mm, any thickness), or veneer cutoffs.
Thank you very much

Hey mate. Sorry for the late reply, but as you know I've got some other significant priorities to deal with.
Anyway, this is the list of samples that I have put together. Some of them are a bit thick and I no longer have the capacity to cut them thinner, so they will be what they are. Also I haven't cut any Bolllywood as I have nothing to cut large pieces with, I'll see how I go over the next few days though, I might be able to scrape something together.
They're all about 200mm by 80-100mm and all up about 3.9kg

Hi all been busy of late.
Im in Sydney currently but will be driving down to Geelong and then off to Tassie on the ferry for about 3 weeks. Happy for contributions along the way, I also plan on some Huon etc for moi.
The way Oz Post is not performing I wouldnt be breaking my back getting these samples away.
I think Christmas will be a postal disaster for both internal and OS.
I will be driving up to Brisbane in January via Tamworth so ok to pick up anything along the way on that trip also.
I think early February would be a realistic post off date for Italy if people get stuff in the local mail to me first thing in January.
My postcode here is 2137 PM me for address.

Thank you very much Clear Out
February is fine for us and yes, I agree that avoiding the Christmas chaos would be a good idea indeed...
I look forward to whatever samples people can gather. In fact even your most common wood is something extremely exotic here...
So, thanks again!
Paolo

Hi Paolo
The Northern Silky Oak is unknown. The reason I included the two samples is because they are so different. It's not an easy thing to demonstrate but they appear to be opposites of each other. One turns light, the other turns dark. Doesn't matter which way I turn them, that's how they appear. Maybe it's the rough sanding? They're only about 120grit. The others are different logs, and I know that because I cut them.

Thank you. This is precious information!
Maybe the difference in the appearance of these silky oak pieces is related to the direction and the angle of the medullary rays cells with respect to the surface.
I will do my best to capture this difference in appearance and to explain it!

Speaking about samples 24 and 26, this us how they look under the rotating light conditions provided by our test rig.
Sample 24:

Sample 26:
https://www.chatometry.com/wp-conten...t_05698gif.gif
These are chatoyance maps of the two samples:
Sample 24:
test_05695_point_3 detail PZC.png
Sample 26:
test_05698_point_2 detail PZC.png
On both samples the medullary rays show similar chatoyance, but the main fibers are more chatoyant on sample 24.
Other than that, our software is unable to provide detailed information about the flecks, but we'll have to improve it.
Thanks again Fekit
Paolo
