This is the largest HF for me so far, not really all that big I guess, but still a first for me. Seeing Steve S. turning logs, I wanted to give it a try with a piece of ash I cut this past weekend. It started out 8" x 11", ended up roughed out at 6" x 9" x 1/2" so I could get heartwood & sapwood variations. Also, I'm giving dish soap soaking a try rather than the DNA I've been doing, it does smell a lot better and obviously safer, so R&D starts. Not sure what's going to happen with the pith, wait and see I guess. Just wanted to share another first. Thanks for looking and suggestions are always welcomed.
