Sheeessshhh Scott and your point is??????????? Oh yea we go from sqaure to round, to square to round, etc, etc, etc, Oh yea to round again.Originally Posted by Scott Lux
We start with a material that is basically round. Then we square it up so we can make it round again.
This occurred to me while I was creating bottle stopper blanks from a walnut log. Take a cylinder, cut it into cubes, make those into octagons, then make them round again. Sheeesh.

I had gatherd a few black walnuts that fall from my neighbors tree into my yard earlier this summer. So I was digging through the mess around my chopsaw and found them. They still had the green husk on them but they were dry and hard. So I like a challenge and glued one to a wooden morse taper and started to turn it. I think it will become a little lidded box as the shape of the nut lends itself to that. So I will post a pic when complete! Just have to keep the squirrels out of the shop!

At one time I heard the definition of a woodworker: someone who takes big pieces of wood, cuts them into small pieces of wood, and then assembles them together to make big pieces of wood (furniture). Based on this definition, I don't think turners are nuts at all; at all; at all; at all;
