Crab Apple?

Hello Mr. Bruce, long time don't see...! how's things mate...???:wink::biggrin:

Sorry, your answer is incorrect...!:frown:

I see some good name varieties being mentioned and off-course, is only a matter of time before we run out of Apple name varieties but in the mean time, lets see who's going to get it right.

I can also say that, and while quite common on the 60's, 70's, is not seen that much in out present times, other varieties have obviously become better adapted to larger plantations however, it is still found in some markets...!

PS: Just an extra fact, I have never seen such resilience in survive to a Termite attack, as these Apple trees, you will see what I mean when I show you some pics of their condition when I cut them down and after they fruited for the last time...!

Cheers

Well, there's only a few left. Royal Gala was only introduced to Australia in the 80's so my next guess is going to be a Jonathan....but I see The Penguin beat me to it. If that's not it I guess Fiji.

Wow, there are lots of guesses in here lately and and I reckon I've got a winner but, and to tease a little further, lets just say that, I will give it another 48 hours to allow a second winner to come through, there is, a second person will have the chance to name the species correctly also and get an identical prize.

All but, the person that already guessed it correctly, are welcome to try again however, I'm not saying who that person his so, that makes for an interesting proposition, huh????:wink:

If the person that already guessed it correctly, gets it again, that wont count so, that's anyone's game...!

Good luck,

PS: Please note that, and I have to make this very clear so that are no doubts latter, anyone that accepts to participate in these type "games/challenges/events/answer it correctly" threads or whatever you would like to call them, is accepting to pay form the shipping to have the blanks posted to him/her or, advise that he/she will be "passing" on the free blanks prize so, no one is "forced" to have to pay for shipping, if they so decided, while they can still participate just for the fun of it, all fine by me...!

Cheers
George

Fugi, Gala?

Hahahah, I like all your apples but, one name per post, please...That is cheating....!!:giggle::smile-big:

George

 

[marksman]

I can't take it for another 48 hours!!! I'm going to go crazy.

 

[robutacion]

Yeah, I know, I'm a bastard, huh...???:wink::biggrin:

In the mean time, and not mentioning if you ever got the correct answer already, you can just give it another go, and get a couple more nice pens made while we all "suffer", including me...!

Cheers
George

 

[joefyffe]

Thanks guys and gals...!

The tree species is in fact a "famous" fruit producer in Australia, I'm not sure about other countries...!

No, is not part of the root, is in fact from the main trunk of the old tree...!

As for the "Iwantit tree" I would like to know what the Google search said about it, as this is one of the most common tree/wood species from all over the world, so much so that, "fiik" and "youain'tgotachance" subspecies were created as a result...!:wink::biggrin:

They are other "variants" also...!

I may use this blank to turn a pen for the tree owner but, I already gave him a few pens from other tree species that I removed from his property so, I may turn something else for him (bowl, platter, vase, not sure yet, oh I know... a jewellery box for the wife, I haven't done one of those for him, yet...!:biggrin:

Maybe one of you endup with this exact blank so that it can made into a pen, "maybe", I will thing about it...!:smile-big:

Cheers
George

George: I think you should turn, for him, his Cremation Urn, because when he sees this piece of wood, he'll be willing to die for it! Internal dimensions need to be an average of 220 cubic inches. I'm going to make mine approx. 500 inches so my wife and I can be interred together, and still have "breathing" room. :biggrin:

 

[The Penguin]

I'm done...got pens to make.

let me know how much the shipping is.

:biggrin:

 

[robutacion]

Hahahahah, I applaud your confidence but, I'm not going to get you out of the hook yet, did you guessed it correctly...??? I'm not telling...!:wink: so, fair enough, go and get some pens done but, try other names you haven't used already, you never know if one of them is the correct one...!

PS" Oh... the shipping (500gr.) to the USA is AU$19.02 via Registered Air-Mail (at the moment) or AU$12.70 if sent Regular Air-mail, I don't get much trouble with it but I don't think that for the AU$6.50 difference is worthy the risk...!

robutacion ripple root?:biggrin:

 

[robutacion]

Hummm, excuse me...! what is all this "robutacion ripple root" about...??? a new tree species or is a new ice-cream variety...???, it sounds like one :wink::biggrin:

There a good half a dozen new blanks that I'm yet to work on but from cutting them to dry, I can tell that I got a few good "doozies" in there, what are you going to say, then...???

Cheers
George

 

[Tim'sTurnings]

Golden Delicious apple?
(If I win I do not need the blanks)
Tim.

 

[Tim'sTurnings]

Jazz apple?
(If I win I do not need blanks. I already got some great olivewood from you)
Tim.

 

[Tim'sTurnings]

How about Newtown Pippin apples. (You could say "Pip...Pip Old Chap", quite a "doozie" of a saying. ROFLOL.
(If I win I do not need blanks. I already got some great olivewood from you)
Tim.

No, no, no, none of those, sorry...!:redface:

It's funny, only because you "won" some blanks from me before, that doesn't mean that you can't get more/others, everyone has equal rights and chances with these type "games" so, go for your life mate...!:wink::biggrin:

Another interesting thing is that, at least 10 members here, should know the correct answer or at least, the Apple wood varieties I have but, only one member used the information available, interesting...!
