Just got this load of wood from a friend know for £40 no idea what wood I have got, can recognize some of them :mrgreen:

this is the first piece i am starting to turning can any body tell what wood it is :mrgreen: ,

it's a very hard wood if that helps. Many thanks.

It could be boxwood - the very best wood for hard wearing parts of tools, handles, threaded boxes and suchlike.

Hi

I reckon it's either pippy oak or pippy elm - difficult to differentiate without a better photo

Chestnut can also look like this. I think to help more a close up of the grain may help

I have some oak very similar to this. You did well if there's a lot of it there.

I may be teaching you to suck eggs but have you tried asking your friend what wood they are?
Looks like some Yew logs rear right though

I will say with my usual certainty in such topics that I haven't got a bl@@dy clue.
I like it though.

+1 for Yew - rear right. That lot looks very interesting, would be good to see what else you turn from it.
