Lots of wood for trade - long version

Yeah, Bradford pear turns like soft butter. Its often curly too. Beautiful wood! I just don't happen to have any currently, although I have 2 trees growing in my yard! :-)

On second thought @daveflutes I could probably trim a branch, cut it to a flute size blank 1x1x12, and dry it out in an old toaster oven I have. So we can keep this on on the list and I can do that, unless anyone else jumps on the thread saying they have a dry piece they could send me to ship to you in my next batch.

Ah it's the same as Bradford pear - thanks. I do like the fruit woods. I've seen it come up a few times here, but I can actually get it so maybe scratch that one.
Funny how an invasive tree in one place is a desirable wood somewhere else. Or how one country uses a wood for decking and I can't even get a spindle.

@SA-Motors thanks for checking these, no rush. There's like 70 more I'd still love if you don't have some of these:) Your wych elm and black palmira are now on order. And any tips on toaster oven drying?

Oh my @Mr. Peet that is too bad to loose such a beautiful tree! If he's willing to cut me a fairly strait 24" long branch (about 3" diameter) I'll pay him for shipping and a little extra for the effort. I can wax it and dry it here.

She called tonight, I can get a piece of the red spruce for you. Said knot free might be a challenge.

I also have a hole in my list for a S. humilis sample. Keep me in mind, please.

Will do, I got a few others prepared I need to send you. Rock sheoak, western myall, and I’ll send you a chunk of river oak/river sheoak
 
@Friedrich9 just letting you know I'm still happy to get this trade done. Will be unable to woodwork for a couple of months but can still hoard new woods and have a good tidy and clearout. Will get your stack together and post a photo
 
Also my new quebracho arrived yesterday, as well as about evey other order I placed in the last month! I'll get some photos on for that. Should be a nice chunk of buloke and some more D odorifera too. And finally the cocus to finish the aid package for @Harry-thefluteatelier
 
Hi @daveflutes Here are photos for our next trade. Hopefully they will be new species for you and ones you are interested in.

From your original request list (from Left to Right):
1) Pterocarpus tinctorius (tacula)
2) Aleurites moluccanus (candlenut/Kukui)
3) Morus rubra (Red mulberry)
4) Cordia subcordata (kou)
5) Entandrophragma angolense (edinam)

Argentine woods you might like for your collection (left to right):
1) Ibatingui, Zoita Ibatingui (Luehea Divaricata)
2) Canjerana or Cancharana (Cabralea Oblongifoliola)
3) Peteribi / Loro Negro (cordia trichotoma)
4) Loro blanco (Bastardiopsis densiflora)

And these (left to right):
1) Mango (Mangifera indica) some very light curl and color variation. This piece came from Hawaii.
2) Dogwood (Cornus florida) Very hard wood. A light pink color.
3) Magnolia (magnolia grandiflora) I have this piece that has a sliver of brown heartwood. I can give you sapwood only, or cut where its a sapwood/heartwood combination, so your blank has some of each. In this case it would probably be 30% heartwood and 70% sapwood, but I would do my best to make it 50/50.
4) Sweetbay Magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) The different between the 2 magnolias is striking! One is like a light grey and this one is pinkish/salmon colored. You can't have one magnolia in your collection without the other :-)
5) Willow Oak (Quercus phellos) Has nice spalting, but very hard and solid - no rot.

Also these (left to right).
1) Sourwood (Oxydendrum arboreum) nice and hard.
2) Austrian Pine (Pinus Nigra)
3) Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) This piece has dark and light portions, I'll cut which color you want.
4) Scotch Pine also called Scots Pine (Pinus Sylvestris). this tree has splotchy/flaky bark - rather unique.
5) Chinese fir (likely Cunninghamia lanceolata) soft wood, has a distict aroma when cut.
6) Black Ash (Fraxinus nigra) lighter weight and softer than white ash

Finally these (left to right, with Buckeye on the bottom)
1) Eucalyptus camphora
2) Aspen (likely Populus tremuloides)
3) Silk Oak, Hawaiian Silk Oak (Grevillea robusta according to Wood database)
4) Ohio Buckeye (Aesculus glabra)

Can you post a few more pictures of the Red-bud, Cercis c.? Everything else looked right but something looked odd with the Judus tree.
 
@Mr. Peet Yes, will do. Thank you for doublechecking all these!

@daveflutes in the last photo, from left to right is the eucalyptus camphora then the aspen. Sorry I got them mixed up in my labeling.

@daveflutes sounds good. My list isn’t complete, but I can send what I got. Did you say you got buloke?
 
@SA-Motors they're all gorgeous! Such a nice variety. I have a couple of these but i need to double check them all, it will be easier on my PC later on.
@Friedrich9 please do send me your list, you'll have a load that I need even if it's not complete. I just opened my buloke last night. Hoping to get all your pieces organized today.
