Hi guys its brain picking time! Yesterday, after cleaning out the storage shed I came across a jenga set "liberated" from a pub it used to work in.
Do any of you know what type of wood jenga sets are made from? its the normal sized one not the giant size.
After spending most of the evening gluing it into a 5" bowl blank I proceeded to turn it this afternoon. Apart from a few gaps which the glue didn't quite fill (they don't fit together as well as I had assumed) I managed to produce a halfway decent bowl. I had a few problem with end grain tear as the direction was kinda like parquet flooring but overall a beautiful wood to turn.
Sooo... I just wondered if anyone could point me in the right direction as I would dearly like to try a solid piece sometime. I was thinking cedar but never having seen or turned it I wouldn't know.
Thanks in advance, Tim.
