OOPS  The guy I got it from just said he had a chunk of beech in his garage,would I like it. I didn't query it,my excuse is inexperience. Don't know about others who've said nowt .

You beat me to it - that's definitely ash and not beech

[GBF]

To be perfectly honest I never gave it any thought as to what the wood was.
Mike brought it here as part of a days woodturning Tuition and said his mate told him it was Beech and I was more interested in teaching than thinking about what the wood was.
At they end of the day Mike had turned a beautiful Bowl and that was all that mattered.
I rest my case 

Regards George
