Title: Can you identify the woods used here ?
Post by: Aidan on July 06, 2019, 10:11:50 AM

Hi All,
I just got my first lathe and have made a few bits and bobs but i dont know what the woods used are. Would you guys  be able to identify the woods perhaps from the photos ?

Many Thanks

Aidan

first one is oak.

the second could be meranti but i'm not 100% sure about that.

the third looks like ash and the fourth is sapele.

I agree with you Steve but I wonder if the 3rd one is Eucalyptus?
