Apricot wood

there's a dead apricot tree in the back yard that will get the chainsaw treatment soon...it's got a thickish trunk (maybe 12" in diameter) and several hefty limbs...there's a decent mill available as I doin't have the bandsaw capability... cg |

I beleive it was on the Aussie woodwork forums that I saw the posting with images.A search there for apricot would find the post. Ive just acquired a ute load of Australian native pear logs ,and I can't wait until the wood is dry enough to start working it. http://www.woodworkforums.com/index.php -- Kevin (Bluey) "I'm not young enough to know everything." |

I would love to see some photos of it when you get it milled and after you get it all finished up. K. |

It's a superb turning wood. What it's like as lumber I don;t know, but I would imagine it's very close grained, and that can be nice in something like a jewelry box. If it were mine I'd keep some pieces for turning, cu the rest into boards and make something to remember the tree by. -- Andy Barss |
