Wood identification

[Lee J]

The ebay listing just says 'mixed blanks for turning'

How many can we identify?

Yew for the 4th one from the left?

:duno:, walnut, box, yew, ash, elm, spalted beech, burr something! :duno:

all guesses!

I'd agree with above but add the first is Tulip Wood, the burr is probably brown oak, and the last could be laburnum.

Without a slice of end grain to look at, or a section of leaf/twig from the tree, my guess is that they're all balsa wood. A botanical analysis is the only guaranteed way of identifying a timber species...remember there are around 40,000 different types (that we know of) on the planet! - Rob

Agreed but there is normally only a small selection sold as pen blanks, so educated guess work might help the op.
