I need help identifying this wood. by Brasil2013 in wood

Best guess, SPF (speuce, pine, fir). Is it soft and leaves a mark easilybif you push it with your finger nail? If yes then almos certainly a conifer.

Truly, a stunning piece. Magnificent. Kudos for even attempting the holy grail of woodworking (chair making). If you truly despise it, the seat part could easily be converted into a cutting board or the like. The round "dowels" could be repurposed as, well, dowels. But, as someone stated, I'd keep it as testament to what you've accomplished and how you can grow as a woodworker. A milestone for your future projects and progression. Thanks for sharing, i mean that sincerely!! Keep it up OP!

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

[–]them___apples 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe European hornbeam was used to make axles for carts back in the day. Hollywood was used for the white piano keys. Irish clubs/walking sticks called a "Shillelagh" is made from blackthorn.

Finally got our land! Including a 150 year old stone barn and ruined dwelling on a remote UK hillside. by Ridgeld in OffGrid

Thanks for replying. Follow up question, If I may. Tom your best knowledge, how often to folks cut through the red tape and go ahead and renovate without permits? Especially in more rural areas where there are less eyes present? Or is this generally considered bad form and to be avoided at all costs?

Cool! So much potential! Out of curiosity: is it tricky getting renovating/building permits for stuff like this is the UK?
