This Cherry Burl came from my wife's family farm in Tennessee. We visited there last summer and I brought back a trailer load of wood. It is 8 inches in diameter and about 5.5 inches high. This...
I finished this some time back but did not get a picture of it as I was having problems with white balance. I have finally got the whit balance down but now I need a bigger light box. This bowl...
This elm bowl was turned from some dried worthless wood a friend salvaged from being torched. I had to cut away some split and cracked areas to get a clear blank. As I turned it the edge of the...
I would try to get something out of the area with the two different tones running through the piece. That would be the primary and everything else would depend on size of whats left. Don't forget...
Leo your elm bowls look really swell. I have been turning some elm recently and get lots of tearout even with the sharpest of tools. Seems to be at certain lines of the ring growth. Maybe the wood...
I thinks the key to his statement is "first" lathe. I am still on my first lathe but saved to get a decent one. I did not need to rush right out and get one for some specific job. One the other...
There is actually an article on the saw horse. Not sure if it is in the library but could get you the info on it if needed. The ants were all gone as I cut the burl today and hauled it inside. ...
I took a trip with my wife and lab, Maggie this summer. My brother in law helped me to harvest some nice Cherry and Black Walnut from my father in laws farm. I had a u-haul trailer loaded. The...
I received a package from Michael Gallagher quite a while back. I finally got one off to him just recently. Here is what he graciously sent to me. I have not even heard of some of the wood blanks...
Boy, almost missed this one. I'm good for a pen exchange.
Use an old mouse pad from your computer stockpile. Just cut to the shape you wish and spray or contact cement.
I bought two V gouges this year and constantly find one of them in my hand. My other tools are getting the cold shoulder. I turned my own handles and find that I indeed only have to sharpen about...
I ran a chainsaw for several years as a firefighter for the USFS. Always used the hand file and often. Just a couple of strokes in between cutting keeps the saw cutting at its best. Several others...
Hey Rick, good to see you on here. You can stop by over her in Libby and look at a General 25-200 I got out of Portland for around 500. Sorry to hear about your other machine going down but good...
I'll opt in for the pen exchange. Thanks for organizing and doing the leg work. John
The General is a very good lathe. VS will go down to 275 rpm on mine. I have not had any issues with this product. PM me if you have any questions....
Check his web site. He has a pic of the 4224 Powermatic with extension. Nice work and shop Max. John
Laminate and cut at angle something like this. The angle would be different but could still work.

Somewhere there is no snow! Still have over a foot in the yard here. Very nice looking gloat. You will stay busy getting all of that prepped and turned.
I found the moose. All three were checking out my wifes car in the driveway, as well as trimming my apple trees.
The wood cigar pens are finished with CA. The one in the middle is dk. lace sheoak and the end ones are birds eye maple. The bowl and slimlines are finished with deft. Slimlines are red mallee...
Had a late Christmas with my family in Texas. These are some of the gifts I gave to them. It was really gratifying to give them something I had made. The bowl was a small walnut (I think) piece...
Rick. Here is where you look at what it is and does.
