No Wes, Thank you for posting :clap:. It is always great to see good workmanship in whatever medium and as is often said here Pictures are almost mandatory :D :). I particularly liked the turned Cedar WOW what colours. Although I may never use it, your writing about boiling the turned green timber article and packing it to minimise cracking etc, is something new to me. I Learn stuff every time I visit here and that is why MadModder is my favourite hobby site. John B (SwarfnStuff) |

Hi Wes some fantastic work there :drool: I love the green cedar really nice colours and grain. That large home made lathe looks very interesting too, a good bit of kit built for thr job :thumbup: I hope this woodturning fad will pass mind as I still hope to see your Penny Farthing getting finished :D Cheers Mick |

Wes there's some outstanding stuff in those pictures - fantastic. I saved some of the bigger Yew logs when I had to take one down last year to make room for the kitchen extension - I must get round to having a go at them on my Union Graduate wood lathe. It's the round tuits you know - not enough of them :clap: |

Thanks for the compliments! I was given a large piece of Ash a couple weeks ago. It had the promise of a large wooden bowl hid inside. It measured 24" long and 20" wide. There were a couple smallish cracks on the ends but I thought they would disappear. I cleaned up the log and trimmed off the end of the log. This is 4" in:o( Nearly the whole thing is ruined:o( I did manage a couple Ice Cream Goblets:o) and a couple little bowls between 4-5" in diameter. Here is a group shot. I got a new wood burner so I can start signing my work:o) Stay tuned. ~Wes~ |
