Cherry wood

I have some cherry that was recently felled. Pieces up to about 10” diameter but very wet of course. Donation to club funds. Collect from Kippford. First come, first served!

Please let me know by 27th October if you’re interested because I have to shift it by the end of the month.

Next few competitions

Sorry if I’m being dim but I can’t see what the competition items are for September onwards. Is there a list somewhere please?
Thanks,
Mick

It gives some information, but not too much so that the seriously  competitive members start making their competition entries now.

Request for help!

I have recently inherited a fair number of turning blanks (spindle & bowl). Some are labelled but I’m trying to identify the rest. If anyone with experience of the types of wood that were available in the 1990’s could please spare me an hour or so (in return for coffee, biscuits and maybe some rare wood!) I would be really grateful.
I’m in Kippford.
If you fancy this challenge please call me on 07909681349 or 01556620672
Very many thanks,
