Hello all,
The real Baxter Smith here....
My email was hacked this morning and an email sent out, but it wasn't from me. After finding out about it thru phone calls and text messages, I sent an...
Add my name please. Thanks!
Hi Sam. Here are some some threads and picures from a few years ago related to a spruce burl along the coast of Maine. I was into sharing my adventures at the time. ...
That wasn't me Mike. My car is white and still has the rear window. I am careful when I load. ;)
The last time I hauled wood from Oregon to Maine(a couple slabs of redwood and a few pieces of...
Good deal, good lathe. Lots of good times ahead! Enjoy it Adrian.
It may take a bit to figure out how you might have done this one Michele. Unless it was segmented and you are trying to confound us by adding the color.:)
I like the color Toby. Not sure I would have said that a couple years ago but ones tastes seem to change with time.
Nice work on both Eric. Must be quite the process to lay out those lines for burning!
Some simple touches give it a very elegant look Kathy!
I picked up an A on Craigslist 3 years ago that is two months older. Have had zero issues with it and it certainly looks like it has seen a lot more use. Just the lathe for 2000 looks like the...
Thanks again for commenting! Someday I will try another and perhaps hit a curve somewhere between the two.
Thanks all!
You will have to keep right on smelling Kevin.:) I will never get to turn another cherry log like that one. I felt guilty cutting it into blanks for turning but since its destiny...
Great haul of pretty wood Roger. Should make some stunning turnings in the short term.
Roger, the stretch wrap is something Reed Gray uses for his once turned bowls. Its simply stretching it tightly around the rim a couple times. It should help reduce the rapid loss of moisture at...
Congrats Peter!
Amazing is about all I can say.
Just before Christmas, I was fortunate enough to come across some exceptional cherry (at least for me). I was able to bring home 3 large bowl blanks. The first two were turned down to 20 inches so...
Thanks for your thoughts. It is appreciated!
Thanks again for your thoughts!
From much beyond arms length, it doesn't especially look that way Eric.

Applying more dye might have helped though I thought it might just appear...
This is the second piece of wood I was determined to get to this summer. Robin Costelle had given it to me at the Tennessee Symposium in January but I couldn’t come up with anything special to do...
I am not smart enough to plan ahead and lay things out while on the lathe. For this one, I just wrapped a paper tape around the form to measure the circumference along the lines. Then it was just...
John, when the block was between centers to begin with, I cut a tenon on each end. When I parted off the top section that would form the lid, I already had a tenon on the top piece (where the knob...
Turning (and posting) seems to takes a back seat during the summer months. There were a couple pieces of wood I was determined to get to. I have admired Mike Mahoney’s canisters for the last...
Glad you are having fun and making a pretty decent income as well Bernie!
Looking good Joe. Looks like you are having fun too!
