• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Green ash.

I mean green colour, rather than unseasoned. Today I was machining up a whole load of ash I've had stored away for years, and one of the pieces was really weird. The shavings coming off it were green! I had to check carefully that it was actually ash, and not a piece of pressure-treated pine.....but it was ash all right, just a weird colour. Is this a common fault?
 
I have seen it before. Last year. I was wondering if it was a historic issue or caused by the die back disease. I got no further than that thought.
 
I stashed this lot away probably 15 years ago, so it's unconnected with die-back.
 
Hi Mike, likely you're familiar of this occurrence with holly, should you not,
a thread or two from the other place what should be fairly easy to find, using these keywords...
green-hue-appearing-on-freshly-ripped-holly, or holly-tree, for example.

I'm just asking whether it's possible if there's chance of such fungal contamination spreading
onto other species?

Another thing what comes to mind is stratocaster guitars with "swamp ash" bodies,
perhaps that might bring up some hits somewhere?

All the best
Tom
