Is Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde wood common?
I cut up a piece of crab apple; the main trunk just before it split into 4
trunks. One half is very light and porous; I would call it willow if I didn't know where it came from. The other half is heavy and solid; pretty much what you would expect from crab apple. From the outside they looked to be the same. Is something like this common? Anyway to determine it before cutting? I am just lucky I cut it in half on the axis I did. I have turned one bowl from the light side. Terrible tearout and it would have absorbed as much LBO as I threw at it, but it turned out nicely. I am hoping the hard half will be even better. |
