Do you know what kind of wood its made from Avro? and whats the outer covering, some sort of shellac material?

Intriguing thing to have. Since its got some serial numbers on it, is it possible that there's some history for it to be found in some dingy basement in the Public Records Office? Seems unlikely but you never know.

Unfortunately, the numbers don't help with any history. They are similar to model numbers.

It was made from some form of hardwood. (WW1 props were mahogany). The process involved pressed laminations. The covering was some sort of nitro cellulose. It's highly combustible and it's not advised to apply a naked flame!
