Woodturners. Lets see those woodturnering projects

I read that after my post, I'll call him tomorrow and bring him some rounds, I'll let him be the judge.

 

They are still be good for turning.

 

Wild black cherry kitchen utensil canister, 6 1/2” diameter, 8” tall.

 

Thats Killer!!

 

Yep, Saweeet!!

 

Anyone ever turn sassafras?

I was just offered some 6”-7” diameter sassafras logs.

 

Its a nice dark Softwood.
I dont think ive turned any, but i know a guy that likes to carve it.

 

12” wide, 4 1/2” tall salad bowl. I laminated 1” ash between two 1 3/4” pieces of walnut. It’s for a friend to give his wife for Christmas.

 

Amazing!
Do you sell any of your work.
I would love to have a piece like that. If you ever have any you would like to get rid of, please get in touch.

 

Thanks. See my pm.

 

That's beautiful work, Brian. Looks great. We have a huge cherry burl I wish you could get...

 

I'll bet there is some character in that one.

 

I haven’t yet tried a burl but I want to. Heck, I just started turning bowls this winter for that matter.

You’re in Georgia? I just passed through Cleveland and Dahlonega Georgia to visit friends last month. I rode my Honda Silverwing from here in northwest Virginia to the Florida Everglades and back in November.

 

Just as well you didn't know about the burl then. Kind of a stretch to carry that burl back north on your bike!

 

Yeah, that had occurred to me…

But I was towing a trailer…



(Yeah. No.)

 

Yep, middle part, between Macon and Augusta. Been to Cleveland several times, worked in Dahlonega for months. Look us up next time you plan on coming down this way.

 

Do they make a wood hauler trailer with stake sides for a motorcycle?

 

If I took the roof top tent off my motorcycle trailer frame, I have no doubt I could trailer that burl and branch home with my motorcycle. But … I’m not going to do that lol!

 

This is awesome!!
