bloomin ekk tha's got good wood there.

guyravine:
Ekki was used primarily as a wood for underwater piling, harbour walls and pier supports. It is full of silica I think, which makes it almost indestrctible and slaughters any sharp edge that comes its way! Not really a turning wood although I had a batch years ago, which didn't cause too much trouble - but it isn't  much to look at. Did think of making truncheons from it ......... Ekki Thumpers.

theblindwoodturner:
I say good chap.... where does one acquire such wood? bloomin ekki it's ekki thump moment again.... Time for the tea and coffee tray to make its way around the forum. Please be aware the tray is being pushed by a gerbil and guide dog.
