Got things assembled and mounted! Mounted the grinder on top of my Dad's old Grizzly lathe that I really don't use......but don't want to get rid of either. Made good use of the space and take out two bolts and the whole thing comes off. Got the bases for the One way jig on there so all set to go.
The shapes really compliment what's going on in the wood for both turnings! Have you hollowed them out? Chuck
Good catch, Mark. I didn't notice that until you pointed it out. Doesn't it seem to you that it must be shake? I mean, for tear-out to follow the grain like that would be unusual but for shake it's perfectly normal.
Well, being by a knot, I've seen several woods splinter and tare bad, so thought maybe that happened and he worked most out, with plans to get the rest later. As for shake, never seen it in black locust, thus my inquiry.
Yes, I should way my words and zero out on watt is sed.
Yes it is some shake. Actually goes from about the 5:00 position all the way around to around 12:00. Soaked the area with CA after the picture to try to keep it in place.
Yes, they are hollowed to about 3/16” thickness. I left tenons on so I can sand on the lathe.
I am seeing "shake" in some of these pieces, but it is not typical (in my limited experience). In most trees I've seen shake, it was present at the base and usually lessoned as you cut higher on the trunk.
Thanks Tim. Photos were helpful for sure.
Someday I'll be lucky enough to have lobster Mac n cheese! We a little country red neck around here - I've fixed Crawdad Mac n cheese though. smoked it on the smoker. I'm too cheap for lobster!
Lobster fresh off the boat is cheaper than good steak here. Spent lots of time in NOLA and ate piles mudbugs, can’t pick a favorite between um. You’re eatin good too.
