Help with wood ID
« on: December 09, 2017, 02:45:41 PM »
I have had a load of wood as can be seen in another post. Some I thought was straight forward Ash but on cutting it the centre seems to be darker unlike all of the Ash I have used in the past. Not having ever used Olive Ash I wondered if this is what I have.
Here is some photo's of a small piece after cleaning it off
