Interesting Wood - what is it?

Nice pipes Stewart. We have Hackberry trees on our property in Ohio. When you cut with a chain saw the chips are almost white. Other than that it is a less than pretty tree with rough bark and Elm Like leaves.

It was sold to me as Hackberry wood at a Wood Working Expo

Thank you Ferg

I never done this before and it seems to be working for me.

I thought about using that wood again on another pipe except I figure

That it 's not going to be the same as the first.. I had no other problems

using other woods over again. But this ,I and my wife like it so much

that its the only one I will make from that type of wood.

Again thanks

Joe,

If you want some more of the wood let me know. I may be able to find a chunk in the wood pile, if so it would have been air drying for two years, under cover.

Just let me know

I've never heard of Hack Berry but those markings in the wood look like spalting which is discolouration caused by a fungal infection in the wood. It doesn't weaken the wood but gives these beautiful markings so is quite sort after. I have a beautiful small set of drawers made from spalted Beech.

I shall be interested to see this pipe when it is finished.

Thought that also. Never looked up images of that wood but just did.

That is one of the characteristics of that wood. I also never thought about

looking up images of woods to see what they look ike when its a finished

project. Now i will to see what the characteristics are before I buy.
