RE: [lace] RE: lilac tree

[Santa Clause]

Hello to all
I hope I'm getting this link right..Regarding the lilac it is truly butifal 
turned
I have had some heart woodthat was brown to purple and the outer part
cream to white I would clasify it as a hard wood.
If there is wood that has been standing in your yard  even branches from 
grannys place you would like to turn in to family bobbins  when you cut them 
Green it is a good idea to seal the ends with Wax or a latex paint thind 
down with waterjust till its not of a thik cosistincy we just whant to seal 
the pores on the end so the moischer  slowly leaves out the sides  , if the 
ends are not sealed it dryes to fast and craks throuw out, a slower drying 
it shrinke a little but your wood stays solide.
depending on how large a pice you save will depend on the time it takes to 
dry from a couple of monthes to a couple of years,, and for small pices to 
force the drying time you can play with microwave oven drying  but that is 
somthing youll have to recirch and play with your self.

be made into bobbins!  :-)  One of my favourite bobbin<br>&gt;makers in Oz 
(no longer making bobbins boo hoo) I think made some from<br>&gt;lilac.  I 
think I've seen some, and they look lovely.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;I envy you having 
some lovely lilac wood for bobbins.<br>&gt;<br>&gt;Cheers,<br>&gt;Helen,
