wow, lilac must grow a lot bigger in Idaho than in Kelowna, at least in my yard…. Hey wait a minute, N. Idaho is just slightly South of me. maybe I will have to pay more attention to those lilac bushes. I had no idea there was usable wood lurking within!

Great looking birdhouses. Truly a magic wood. I would have thought they were purple.

I am still working on refurbishing my old Sears wood lathe but as soon as I get it up and running I hope that I can turn some pieces as nice as these. Great looking bird houses.

I turned a lamp out of lilac a few years back. It was great stuff to work with and it had a beautiful purple streak in it that I did my best to accent. The lamp turned out really nice but after a few months the purple turned brown. It also smells good while you’re working it! Just a little hard to get big pieces but interesting wood.

Nice work great idea using the lilac bush I would have never thought of that.
