I seem to have an evolving series of threads, access to down trees, how to seal blanks, and now.......how to cut up blanks. I recently posted that I came home with several cut logs from a recently downed tree. I was excited at the thought of having some of my own blanks for turning. Once I got the chain saw out, I was disappointed in the end results.
I had several species of logs and each were 12 inches diameter to 18 inches. After cutting out the pith, I really ended up with some smaller blanks. Did I do something wrong or is the fact that I simply need larger diameter logs to get bigger blanks. This probably sounds silly (even as I type) but wondering if I am missing something. Thanks in advance for the help
