Will cut this tree egg open in a few weeks and we’ll all see what nature made. This’ll be a good one Doug, pro cut, stored indoors on blocks with abt 6’ of trunk on both ends, no signs of bugs, rot etc.
PBW - Professional Burl Wrastling - I'd pay to see that.
Now that's sweet!
Frank, I see a fish sculpture in your future.
Not sure. Might be just too darn much work to finish that shape out to be identifiable ..Frank, I see a fish sculpture in your future.
Never know, if they ain't done by the time you come through, I might take ya up on that.I might volunteer.
Awesome! The fun is about to begin. :)Got the "new to me" lathe set up and added a box / shelf with 210 pounds of sand. She's running smooth and ready to get dirty!

Oh, it already has! I wanted to set it up and play around with a few things and get the spacing right before I built the shelf and added the sand. There were a few things I learned with my Jet that I knew I'd change, and once I added the sand I knew it wasn't going to get moved again for quite some time. The white drawers were from my prior set up as well, and I'll probably build in a tool holder and few other spaces with the extra room this one provides. All in due time though. Right now I just want to let the shavings fly!!Awesome! The fun is about to begin. :)
I actually have no clue, lol. I dont use exotics very much.The red wood looks like a Khaya spp. (African mahogany) but I assume you're familiar w/ that, so you think that's not it?
