Give us a clue is it home grown? if so it could be a piece of very quick grown cherry I had some like that it came out of a old church yard!

Yes, it was on my wood pile here in the Telford/Chester region.

So Could be Cherry or Sycamore.

The question I wanted to ask (sorry its a bit disjointed) is how do I clean out the inside a bit better?

I think some form of (bowl) scraper?

Can any one recommend where i might get one from my neck of the woods?

this would be my view too

+1 for sycamore, I have been using a lot of it recently with good results.

You could get a HSS round nosed scraper from any of the tool suppliers by ordering by phone or online.

A square end will give a nice sharp inner too..

Thanks for the answers....this the other half of the log used.....should have posted it before.

Still Sycamore?

That's quite plausable as the lad I got the wood off spoke of getting Sycamore.

Guys, I ve got loads of scrtach marks in the wood. How do I get them out?

I ve just been working it with a hand sander but still they won't come out.
