You do seem to be able to get some great looking wood.

Done justice as well.

Most of it I find when I'm out with the dog Phil. I am fortunate enough to live near to the woods though.

For someone who calls himself a newbie you ain't half putting out some production Paul and to a stunning standard.
Take a break mate sit and have a cuppa before you fall down init?

Looks good paul but i have never seen red in ash before. :thinks:

There is a lot of red in Ash but is only seen when your turn it green and get it hot with sanding or the like and when its spalting when you can get reds, greens, blues and blacks. Someone like Neil would probably be able to tell you why.
