I've turned the remnants from a failed lemon tree that was barely a metre tall, I managed to get a pen and one or two other trinkets from it. The wood was nice to turn, close grained and similar to Holly in texture.
Continuing the fruit theme I was brought some Apricot by a friend who has a property in southern France, sadly the wood was bug ridden and full of shakes, so much so it was beyond safely working. The wood itself is a lovely dark orange colour so hopefully I'll get a better piece to have a go at following a future trip.
I've a couple of pieces of driftwood which I picked up on a Suffolk beach, one piece I suspect is elm but could quite easily be wrong. The wood is riddled with shipworm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shipworms but I couldn't resist picking it up. I'm sure it'll be incorporated into a piece some day....just not something that needs to be watertight!!
I've some bog yew from Lincolnshire which turns and polishes up nicely, it's hard to believe it's 3000+ years old. My folks have also just returned from a holiday in Donegal, rather than a mug with a shamrock leaf on it they're brought me three pieces of bog fir, two root stumps and a log section again 3000+ years old apparently....If I get anything worthwhile from them I'll post on the forum.
All good fun and a break from the norm
Cheers
Rick
