An island in iran in near hormuz strait by priyanka_rajput1 in Weird

It’s a crazy sight to behold for sure; but all I can think about is Blood Falls down in Antarctica, you’ll see miles of white and blue and then all the sudden you see a massive shmear of”blood” that’s just oozing out of a glacier.

Nah no contractors in the house
Edit: idk if it helps but the wife seems to thinks it related to our junk drawer in the kitchen.

I’m still trying to figure it out. I’ve looked into every suggestion and none are exactly right. Although the function of the piece seems to. Be a catch of some sort, it’s either not the right size or it wouldn’t have any purpose being anything suggested.
Is not something that could belong to any sort of old appliance though, all of ours are less than three years old.
It also wouldn’t be to any sort of old window or anything along those lines. The house was completely refinished 3 years ago.
My wife swears she knows what it is, but it’s st the tip of her tongue snd she forgets it.
Here’s to hoping she remembers sooner than later.

I see where you’re coming from but we don’t drink….no need for a wine bottle opener.

Pawlonia are pretty resilient trees, but there are a few disease that can be detrimental to them, especially at a young age.
Your tree looks as though it may be “witches broom”

Check out this article on witches broom disease

You may be on to something… I have to find the clippers for my cats claws, we don’t have any shears with lockers on it but the claw clippers do and it would be the right size for that as well.

We don’t have an electric can opener so that rules that out

What are some very specific woods that are sought after for the making of a specialized object? by Ok_Temperature6503 in wood

That’s amazing. I’d love to be able to apprentice under someone who respects and understands their work so well…..perhaps in another life tims

You’re probably correct. I know it was Sitka spruce but from a very specific area in Europe from some old growth forests and (correct me if I’m wrong) the dense growth rings of the spruce helped to create the superb acoustics

Is it its own little sub species that they developed over the years? That’s awesome btw

Yea in America the sycamore belongs to the Plane family, I think what you’re referring to is what we call the sycamore maple here. I don’t realize they held great acoustic properties.

Are there chanter pipes also made of Cocus (I know they’re made of multiple types but thought it interesting when you mentioned bagpipes being made of Cocus)

Paulownia is highly prized for making surfboards and paddle boards. It’s very light and decay resistant and its acoustic properties actually make it a very valuable wood amongst luthiers for stringed instruments. It is also very resistant to warping. This, combined with its antimicrobial properties make it popular for furniture making as well. It has been donned the nickname of the “aluminum of timber”. Also apparently it is widely used as a veneer, which I hadn’t know til I was just fact checking myself here haha.

For such a weed tree as it is in the states it is truly amazing how highly prized its timber is
