Wearing a necklace

[Alancw]

@phinds kindly sold me a piece of masur birch. I’ll get 3 hollow forms out of it, this the first. 5 1/4 inch diameter and 4 inch height. Thanks again!

It’s a rare wood that grows in N. Finland and big pieces are uncommon as the trees don’t get very big.

it looks like the hollow form is wearing a necklace around the opening.

Fantastic. Really glad you could make such an excellent piece out of part of what I sold you. Really beautiful work.

Very nice! And more to come! That musta been an unusually large chunk of masur, something you never see.

Six inch diameter and about 14 inches long. Very kind of @phinds to sell it to me. Turned end grain.

I keep looking but I never see anything larger than about 3”sq x 8”, unless it is a board maybe 4/4.

Look at the wood sites in Germany. I found some about 4 inches diameter there.

Do you have any contact info for wood sites in Germany. Chuck

I should make a list of all my known and trusted suppliers of wood. For everyone else I have been sending links everywhere constantly. I believe I gave this link to Alan too.
