Wood identification help
I picked up several logs today, had been told it was Ash. The odd thing
I noticed is that the cut ends on some of the logs have taken on quite a rather dark pink tinge in a little over 8 Hours. I haven't been able to find reference to Ash and pink, so was wondering if anyone here has seen it, or should I be looking to identify it as something else. -- John |

Depending on where it is from, ash can have a pinkish hue. Here in central Alabama, north of a line about 2/3'rds of the way down, ash has a pinkish hue. South of that line it has a blue hue and in the Panhandle of Florida it can have a dark brown hue. From what I understand, this is caused by a fungus and has no adverse effect on the wood, except for the coloration. Deb |

Deb Not sure where I fall into on that scale as I am South UK :) But at least it can be pink:) I will have a look in the morning to see how much darker it has got -- John |

I got some fresh cut european sycamore that bled orange
when left standing on end. Sliced it up on the bandsaw and got light orange rough boards - some with a nice salmon color. (2 photos at the bottom of the following page) http://web.hypersurf.com/~charlie2/R...nalSawing.html Within a month all the color was gone. Did get some medullary rayed pieces - but no orange, or salmon or even a hint of pink. charlie b |
