Slimline I think is Hawthorn?

[tomredmayne]

Sorry but still disagree that it is hawthorn, Midland or standard. The pink tinge to the new leaves is a good indicator along with the very pale wood colour. Hawthorn tends to be darker and has a more obvious figure to it.

Here is a comparison of the hawthorn and field maple leaves and typical cuts from the timber. What do you think bassethound? A key thing to look for on the leaf is where the stalk joins the base of the leaf. In the hawthorn the leaf runs down into the stalk but in the maples there is a notch where the stalk joins with a bit of the leaf making a lobe at each side. One thing I know about hawthorn is that it is notoriously hard to dry without getting faults in the wood. I can't see any faults in those pens at all....:encouragement:

Thats a great description, how about giving us a 'how to tell trees' lesson?

First Albino Hawthorn Ive seen! Acer campestre in my book, but it must have been cut from sapwood as I cant see any grain at all, but then again it might be time for an eye test.

Never seen a pen so white when made from wood looks real cool
