Hi Glenn, here's a good picture of it. As you can see the trunk and roots of this tree are very gnarly! Lots of twisty grain. I have used it to turn bowls up to 6" in diameter and have resawn it unto...
Sweet Corey!
Thanks Corey, you know how it goes, you just have these turning binges! Help me before I turn again!!!!:p
Hi Jeff! Well belive it or not the Chittam I have did come from MonteSano Mtn! The legend is that it only grows here on tjhis mountain and in the Holy Land, but it actually grows across the US,...
Hi Christopher, this wood is mentioned in the Bible and goes by a few other names as well. There are several varieties of it and one of the more common names is the "American Smoke Tree". Do a...
here is a bowl I turned out of Butternut, my son said it looked like a antitank mine, well he's out of the will!:D
Here are a few more Chittam items. The picture of the lidded bowl by the hat was the final finish, the others were in the first stages. The little cylinder (vase?) has a lot of character in it, but...
Yeah Bob it would be a very messy desert night! As to the finish well I just took Zissner(spelling?)shellac and thinned it by half and just kept slopping it on, seems like 5 coats is where I said...
The bowl is 6.5" in diameter and 2" tall. The finish is Olympic Polyurethane Premium Interior, oil based, clear gloss, 4 coats if I remember right.
Dogwood has become one of my favorite woods to...
Thanks for the kind words everyone!:)
You just never know!:D If a potato chip that looks like Lincoln can fetch $25,000.00 an old rotten belt might just bust it wide open!:p The sander was free and hardly used so the price of a few...
Just one more thin wafer mint monsieur!(if you know Monty Python you should get this reference!:D )
Heres another recent turning.
Turned this recently. The voids made for some interesting moments!
well I would guess the belts are at least 15 yrs old. So the answer might be dryrot?:rolleyes:
Sad but true that a lot of people just don't read the directions or ignore common sense rules. A few years back a friends brother was burned to death when he and another fellow were cleaning grease...
I recently acquired a Grizzly 12"disc/6"belt sander and it came with a few new belts. I decided to change out the old belt and it seemed straight forward, remove old belt install new belt, center it...
Not a great picture but it shows the size compared to a DC unit. Whole house blowers really put the air out so plan ahead for the 'jet" stream:D I use 25x25 filters in the unit. 3 normal cheap...
I just spent the last two days going through and cleaning out my scrap piles and I wonder what I was thinking when I saved some of these little bitty pieces!:rolleyes: I can't help myself, I just...
You can count at least 10lbs to the gallon for water and then the gravel filters etc. could easily push your weight to 500lbs:eek: So building a stand is one of your problems but what comes to my...
I'll toss my two cents in on this thread. I made a filter using a 220v AC fan placed in a large box on the floor. I have a Filtrete 25x25 final filter with 3 25x25 fiberglass prefilters. the outlet...
Hi Keith! After I saw that I posted this as info on a "SPINTER" instead of "sprinter" I realized once again why I don't have an paperwork kind of job:D . 26,000 doesn't seem to bad at all...
(GRRRPERS?) for me too Dennis, I use their table inserts also, both work great.
AFLAC! We prefer to call that migratory water fowl retaining film, thank you!:D
