You know your a turner when you have multiple lathes in your shop and try to talk your other ww buddies in to buying them a lathe!!!!!

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

You know you are a wood turner when.....

You are walking down the street, you see something cool, and go home, get your camera, then take some pics of a VERY nice looking burl.........





On a Japanese Cherry Tree (Sakura) and then post it on the turner's website....

These trees are on the edge of some land that the city bought up, it will be used to make a road on day, and let me tell you, when that day comes, you know where I'll be with my chain saw!!

Oh yeah!

Nice or what?

About 18" x 16" or so....

Cheers!

You get slapped by your wife when she thinks you are slowing dow to look at the young women cutting grass when really you are looking at her neighbor who is cutting up a downed tree.

[Andy Hoyt]

When this is your favorite thread.

[John Hart]

Japan is in serious trouble. Years from now, the stories will begin with, "It all started in this Liquor Store...."

[Jerry Olexa]

When your dream job is riding shotgun on a tree service truck.

[Glenn Hodges]

When your wife says, when you start to leave the house, you better back up I think you forgot your chainsaw.

When you go on vacation and take pictures of trees with burls and send them to your buddies you have never met on SMC.

[Stu Ablett in Tokyo Japan]

[John Miliunas]

Well people, you have to admit, that is one fine looking Burl....no?
