Rasmus,

What a find that should keep you busy over winter. Hows the heating in the shed? Seem to recall you had not completed it.

Somehwere I have a plan of a heater that runs on shavings and sawdust. Made from an old oil drum. Runs 6-8 hours on one load depending on the timber.PM me if its any good to you.

[Rasmus Petersen]

I hope to have more than a fair share of theese turned by winter :-) but i still havent gotten around to installing heating... but summer is comming so right now its not a problem ... no all i have to do is find the time to put steel to wood bigtime .-)

Great gloat Rasmus, free wood is the best.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats Rasmus! Looking forward to seeing what you can turn out of these!!

[Dennis Peacock]

Ya know Rasmus? Free is a VERY good price!!!! Congrats on the nice haul.

[Dick Strauss]

Rasmus,
Most of us that get free wood have to do some work with a chainsaw and bandsaw before the blanks are lathe-bound. This gloat is better than most since they are already ready to go. That is a very nice haul my friend!

[Bill Wyko]

Either those are 2 big crankshafts or you hit the turning blank lottery. Nice haul

[Alex Elias]

It sure is a good one. Lots of wood for the best price,hard to beat.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats Rasmus. That should keep you out of trouble a day or two. Can't wait to see some turnings.

[Rasmus Petersen]

Thank you all... Yes the haul is very nice :-) but i hope to stik you one more gloat later today.. hov about a car more or less full of more FREE burls ??

[Skip Spaulding]

Great gloat, looks like you hit the MOTHER LOAD of ready to turn blanks!!

[Jim Becker]

That should keep you busy for a few minutes....

[Bill Wyko]

I hope you have a composter for the shavings. That'll be enough to fertilize a farm.

[Rasmus Petersen]

I know i know it´s not nice to power gloat this much but i have to... i just have to..

The load...

to LARGE pices of (Chinise waterpine free translation from danish) Metasequoia glyptostroboides?
to large pices of Robinia Pseudoacacia, and 3 lage burls i the same !!
(Left top)
around 10 pices of mapel with flame or silver.(low left)
A very large Chestnut burl (to the low right)
A large Birch burl and 3 small ones(front low)
A Prunus domestica "Syriaca" Burl. fruit tree
and something not commonly seen a Nobilis (:Noble or White Fir) Burl pice.. the guy i got it from have been teaching loggers for 30 years and this is only the second time he has seen or heard of it. the pices are cutoffs from the large burl he made into a bowl. . . small LOAD.jpg

Now the only thing left is fixing the problem with having to work eat and sleep... so that i have time to turn instead...
