I like fire wood for basic turning. Is there someone in your vacinity who
sells it? By the time you get through a half cord of wood your friends will
know you need dropped trees and will start to find it for you. Look at

The best wood is free wood. Find a pub where some tree people hang out,
buy a round of Guinness for them,...

You can also drive around with the window open, listening for the sound of
a chainsaw. Then find out where they spend their evenings...

Get the picture? And I'm sorry I can't join you -- Guinness is on my
short list of beverages.

Hi to all, I am still new to the craft of woodturning and before i
bought my lathe and tools i had a very small amount of air dryed wood
for turning and this is now expended. I was wondering if any body
could point me in the right direction for sourcing hardwoods. I am not
pickey about the type of wood as i have resorted to only using scots
pine in the last month and i cant stand the sight of it anymore. i
live in ireland!! Yes i said Ireland, in the mayo area and any help
would be greately appricated

Many thanks to all and safe turning
