That looks a very nice grain. I hear there's a shortage of Lilac trees around here! the special BRANCH is out in force to find the culprits.

Very nice piece of unusual timber. Anyone else apart from me ever tried gorse?

Yep, I've tied gorse. Threw more of it on the fire than I managed to turn due to seasoning issues, but one hell of a talking point on the finished piece.

Unfortunately not Simon.
We took a small Lilac out to make way for the drying shed last summer. It was only big enough to get a few blanks, but really was the wrong time to be cutting, and most of them split! I will be on the lookout for more.

The kit is the Gun metal plated Omega from Taylors Mirfield.
