Saturday SWMBO arrived home from her volunteer work at the UK wolf trust near Reading (yes real wolves) with a boot full of wood, had she asked before loading it up I probably would have said no to it, I've so much waiting to be processed already and most of this new stuff was on a log pile and is full of bugs but not wanting to seem ungrateful I took it and spent yesterday processing it, a nice bit of yew, a couple of bits of Hawthorn that had split but got a couple of plate blanks and some spindle blanks, 2 big logs that I couldn't identify at first but as soon as I started cutting them on the bandsaw I knew the smell instantly as Ash, confirmed by the fresh cuts turning pink, managed a couple of bowl blanks, some spindles and a few box blanks theres also a cube about 6 or 7 inches on all sides with hundreds of little splits that im trying to think of a use for as it looks really nice, finally was a few bits of something I can't identify but have nice purple colouring that doesn't show well in the photos.
