Mystery log

(1/1)

Les Symonds:
One of my students brought this log to me, it was cut from the felled trunk of a dead tree in the garden of a cottage he'd just bought, so he had no idea what it is. It strikes me as possibly being a heavily pruned apple tree...time will tell. There's a s much as 3" (7cm) thickness in places, despite the heartwood having mostly rotted away, so I might well get a few shallow dishes, or perhaps I could get a single decent sized bowl by using this as the wall and gluing a piece on for the base of the bowl....time will tell!

seventhdevil:
i think you are correct with apple les.

...hopefully, the smell when I turn it will confirm it!

John Plater:
I think apple too. The only question in my mind is the colour of some of the sapwood and the "spiky" nature of the annual rings in the first photograph. Question mark Robinia ?
