Cherry burl

[Jonkou]

Made first cuts today and will do the bandsaw work next time. Will be a challenge making production blanks, lots of rustic stuff… win some lose some.

John - If you end up with some bowl blanks that are decent, but don’t quite meet your standards, I’d be interested. (I’m not into off-cuts, just “rustic burl” bowl blanks)

Thanks! JD

John,
If you end up with some offcuts that you'd like to sell, put me in line behind JD1137. Looks like you're going to have some pieces with large cracks, voids and inclusions that are so common in cherry burls.

I’ll claim some of the inclusions and oddities it available. Thanks, @Jonkou !!

The background view was nice!

Got it cut up today and managed to get a few nice production blanks out of it. Have some rustic bowl blanks, cut offs and some chunks I’ll get sorted and posted soon.

It make you smile when you see that just saying

Hey John ( @Jonkou ) - how often do you replace ( or sharpen) your band saw blade? Just curious but you seem to use your's quite often for quite a few cuts so I was wondering how long your blades typically last.
