Found these logs and thought they looked interesting, can anyone tell me what the wood is.

Thanks Beau, I've googled laburnum and I think your right, will it be ok for making small boxes?

Laburnum. Excellent for small work like that. Good to turn as well. Be careful of the dust, it's not nice.

Thanks guys, I'm really pleased as I rescued 3 logs destined to go on the log burner in a property we rented a couple of months back. I've bandsawn one log and sealed the ends with wax, guess I'll have to do the others today.

A bit late to the party, but looks like all the laburnum I've used.
