Happy Woodchips!

Thanks Thorreain, when I get them finished , she will give most of them away. I will take more pics with flowers in them & in their proper setting, the dining table.

Steve,
We were able to walk through his shop as long as we stayed on the designated path. There was tons of turning blocks, slabs & carving pieces.
I was told that Myrtlewood only grows in one area of Oregon & Israel. It’s hard to identify because it has so many different shades & colors.
That was such a fun trip, we stayed on hiway 1 which runs right along the ocean. We stayed in campgrounds for safety & hot showers, did a lot of tailgate cooking & ate some local fresh seafood.
All is well with us, thanks for asking.
Have a happy & safe July 4th !!

Very nice pieces

Thanks Bruce !!

It’s a great wood that has a varied color and grain,very nice turnings

One of the places your might have driven past let me dig through their cast off pile and I got several small pieces good enough to become turnings.

I suspect, if we got to know some locals, there’d be a bunch of it out there for the asking. Buying from the roadside places can get expensive.
