  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over the next few weekends BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

What kinda wood is that mate? Is the bark still on? At first glance I thought it was but now not so sure. I've tried to make some plaques etc with timber and I can't find anything that the bark wants to stay on when dead. If there is no bark on that it would work fine too as it looks great.

Sorry for the late reply on this one bud.
Yes, the bark is still on. I sanded it back with a disc to get that affect on it. I'm not overly confident it will stay on but thought I would try it out and if it comes off so be it. I have put about 4 coats on it so far in hope that it will help keep it on.
As for the type of timber I'm not 100% sure. The guy I got it off couldn't remember but thought it may have been a "foam tree" but my brother said it looks similar to Chinese elm but really not sure.

If you wanted a nice timber to work with that has great grain and isn't too hard, a camphor laurel is beautiful and they are classed as a weed.
