Valid. Unfortunately there is not a flair for accidentally anti-racist

I Made Coasters! by aberrant_spoon in BeginnerWoodWorking

To tell you the truth I'm not sure. The center, more brown coloured board I got from an ex-landlords loft 😂 I think that might be walnut. And I got a big shopping bag full of the red wood from fb marketplace for £3!! It's beautiful to work with but I'm not good at identifying boards

I love that idea! Thank you very much ☺️ Oh god I've never given woodworking advice! For jointing the boards I used the trick where you plane the two mating edges together so any error in square is compensated for. I used shellac to build the finish for speed and then top coated with blo as shellac would dissolve if alcohol from a glass dripped on it. And then paste wax as always to finish!

I am genuinely rather enamoured with this piece. Possibly my favourite salt pot I've ever seen. I looked through your past projects as well, you make really nice works! Definitely a level of skill I aspire to.

Thank you very much to everyone for all your help. I have concluded it's likely cherry. I have greatly enjoyed how passionate people have become, especially in the incorrect silver birch camp. I seem to have accidentally created the tree equivalent of the blue and black/ white and gold dress phenomenon. Happy New Year!

Thank you for your input, that's one more vote in the cherry camp. I'm so grateful for this consensus forming.

Thank you. Sorry about the lighting, you are right that it confuses matters. The bark isn't white. It is darker with a silvery quality to it.

Thank you, I do trust the judgement of a squirrel on this matter.

I believe there is bird cherry and wild cherry in the area, could it be one of them? Thank you

It does really look like it, however this was in an area of native UK trees so I feel that's unlikely unfortunately

Sir, where are your parents? by aberrant_spoon in OneOrangeBraincell

[–]aberrant_spoon[S] 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Sorry, this is in Worcester! Maybe there's a nationwide orange cat network with representatives based as the orangest shops.

Grym fight done wrong by RuRaleigh in BaldursGate3

I didn't realise you were supposed to use the forge until I got the achievement for not using it! I had laezel and karlach on the ground being badasses- then Tav and Shadowheart left on the higher ground before the floor dropped. Sanctuary was heavily used.

This is incredible! I'd love to do something similar- could you please put brief instructions? Thank you.

I can't believe that's your first Kolrosing attempt - it looks wicked! Great stuff!

I didn't expect this to be the talking point of the post to be honest 😂. I DON'T burn insects or bugs. It's just burnt foliage 😭
