It occurred to me the other day that it has been some time since I posted here. Things have been very slow around here the last few months. I've been a bit slow is probably more to the point. Anyhow I've been tidying up some of the smaller pieces which have been building up after firewood cutting expeditions. It is now a process that I go through when collecting firewood. That is to cut with turning blanks and box making in mind. I have found this process to be very frustrating at times because so much of the blackwood is so nice. It's quite peculiar to this area. I'm finding more and more that has freckling on the end grain which produces streaks along the face of boards when they are milled. A very nice feature.

Some more pieces that have come off the saw.

and some nice stringy (E.Baxterii) which has turned yellow (spalting I think).
