    Accoya off centre bowl

    I was given a small piece of Accoy and turned this from it. Clear oil finish. It is more symetrical than the first picture make it look. I quite like it and am now trying to find where I can get some more of this material. That is not proving easy AQ

    Looking for wood from Lake District

    I have had a request to make a pen from wood which originates from the Lake District (Keswick if possible). Does anyone have a piece of timber from the Lake District which I could purchase from them? Or perhaps someone in the area could collect a piece and post it? Just thought I'd ask you...

    Lignum Vitae - to cut or not to cut

    I have a nice piece of genuine Lignum Vitae given to me by an old friend many years ago. Not sure if to cut it for pens or if it is worth more in a larger piece?

    Can anyone help identify these pieces of timber please?

    Hi all, I've been given a few pieces of timber, and require help identifying some of them - if anyone can :thumbs: This first piece is very "orange" and extremely dense. Planes a treat though! The second piece is a proper reddish brown, planes nicely and is less dense. Lovely colouring as...
