• 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!

My first go at a lidded pot. The grain on this wood really took me by surprise. Brownie points available for anyone who can guess what it is. The lid, I think is cherry.

Thanks Rob, No the lid I think is cherry but the pot :eusa-think:

I have made something from it before.

Thanks Terry.
By the way as far as the wood is concerned there is plenty of a differnt species within the same genus being used around the country at the moment.
 
Nice little pot Andy not sure about the lid would have been nice in the same wood.

Could it be ornamental cherry by any chance

Thanks Derek,
If I had a plan before I started as to what I wanted to make it could have had a lid in the same wood. I kind of went with the flow and then it was too late. :oops:

The wood is willow, of the weeping variety.

I will have to assume that those light coloured flecks are a kind of spalting.
