    Bob, great work on getting some really nice blanks!! Looks like you were very calculating in the manner in which you cut them.

    Those will make some very nice turnings!

    BUNCH of chainsaw debris!!!

    Congrats Bob. Great looking bunch of blanks that should make some awful nice turnings.

    Looks like you've been down this road before by looking at the photos of you setup. I like your portable stand for cutting blanks off the ground and what appears to be a comfortable height. What is the small table used for in photo #3? Is that a level place to set your barley pops on? Nice haul, great looking wood, and yes this is a good gloat.
    Who knew your could have so much fun with such a small chunk of wood

    I was going to use the table to anchor seal the blanks, but the stump worked better. If you ever see barley pops and chain saws in the same picture, better send someone to take me away
