    Wood gloat

    My barge finally made it and I have some walnut and ash which my wood inspector is taking a look over to see if she approves, guess we will keep it.
    Good day.

    Mark,

    I play the same game, except she only chews all the small pieces which some how act as a laxative a little later on. It gives me an excuse to clean up the wood quickly. So as a treat she I give her a small piece once in a while.

    Nice shop mate. I can't get my guys into the shop unless I have a small biscuit. They would rather chase squirrels.

    What kind of lathe is that in the background?

    Symba loves to steal all the little peices too! His crate that leads to an outdoor kennel is in the shop (garage). When it it time to clean out his kennel, I normally find about 20 small pieces! He takes them out of the scrap bin

    Corvin,

    It's the Jet 1442VSK. I am quite pleased with it although I have little to compare it against.
    Good day.

    Alan,
    I am going to be trying my hand at a couple of rockers, one for my mother and the other for the lady in my life. Going to let the wood sit for a while to let it acclimate then shall we say, the dust will hit the fan.

    Kyle, if your wood inspector approved it, it's gotta be good wood!

    Labs are the greatest dogs on the planet and that's a beautiful one!
