Young Swedish woodworker on the way to become a Cabinet Journeyman.

As I don't have access to the school's large workshop any more so I now have time to work on my own workshop, I have a 50+ years old combination machine and a lot of hand tools at my disposal. I will start producing some wood things as soon as I finish renovating the old machine and get it up to safety standards.

I also collect wood samples for my Journeyman cabinet, a Xylotheque. This collection is a somewhat scientific collection and I love donations, at the time of writing I have 400+ species in my collection.
I will upload a sample every day, or at least every day I can in my series "Wood of the day"
http://lumberjocks.com/CreekOne/blog/series/8041
Samples are always welcome, if you can be sure about the species, sizes are 8cm long, 5cm wide and 1cm thick (3" by 2" by 3/8"). Finished exact size is: 70 mm by 40 mm by 8 mm (2 3/4" by 1 9/16" by 5/16")
Anyone who wish to provide a sample will be named on the blog and on a note in the cabinet for Journeyman shows.
