Make up brush pot take 2

[Robert]

So the last pot I made was very well received, but it turned out to be the wrong shape: Too tall and too thin for her brushes. Bit of a schoolboy error on my part, should have done a bit more R&D.

Still, it's a nice pot, so will get used for something or other.

So here's another one I made this afternoon.

No idea what the wood is, it's from a tree that fell down by our cricket club a few years back, I pinched a couple of logs and they've been sitting in my garage since. I'm hoping to make some large salt and pepper mills out of the rest. Any suggestions as to what it is?

Robert the goblet I just posted in Playing with colour is ash and this is the lime I carve

Here's a pic of the logs. Given the above comments, and after googling ash bark, I think they are ash. They are a much lighter colour than your lime.
