There are several hundred houses being built near me at the moment, so yesterday on my way past one of the building sites I spotted a skip full of scrap wood. I asked one of the workers if it would be ok to go through the wood and grab some. I drive big bendy trucks part time, so I had on my Hi viz and steel toe caps, luckily, I had my hard hat in the car so the guy radioed the foreman who said it was ok. I think I got 6 hardwoods out of it, good lengths and thickness but narrow. Ok for some spindle type work. Anyway, I think I know 3 of the woods but I’ll put a picture up just so you guys can please tell me wat they are. I know at least one is beech, 2 or three maybe the same just different shades not sure. I also think I know what number 6 is as I worked with it for along time when furniture manufacturing.
Anyway, a bit of a weekend fun quiz, it may help others to spot wood types.
I managed to fill the boot and back seat, so I have some hardwood to play with now. Skip had gone this morning probably to the tip or pulping factory
I made up a t-light from the beech I love this wood , its so nice, so easy to work with and the colour is awesome.
