Some bowls are held for charity, some for fancy dress...
But when they're held for pleasure....
I kept only 4 or 5 smaller pieces, one crotch piece. The rest will go to club members and club turning events. The guy with me (he is on the right in the last picture) has 8 lathes in his house and does a Thursday Night Turning event 3 times a month open to new turners and club members. Great learning experience monitored and assisted by other club members.

Love me some ac DC when in the shop, lol.
I'm Just an old rocker.
Rescued some cherry from a pile of firewood that didn’t get used this winter. Will cut into billets soon.
What a beautiful sight!

Nice, I bet when you cut it and stick that moisture meter in a fresh cut it's going to be higher.
I was just thinking that. Can't believe cherry got to that level on the end without a gap that looked like my Grandpa's front teeth!!
Found some Red Elm had been cut and dumped off at the log yard. Talked to the arborist and ye said he would pull the largest log off the burn pile for me.
Smaller pile of smaller logs that I might try to get as much as I can. Bad news, we're having thunderstorms this afternoon/evening and the log yard will be way too wet for me to get into it. Plus, he'll be burning this week. So, I'll probably won't be more than the one he's pulling off.

Not sure it’s free yet, I’ll have to see if my neighbor will spare a chunk or two instead of using it for firewood.
Tree crew took down a big old sugar maple on the corner of his lot.

Nice. Just e sure to grab the buttress section with the curly wood.
Wow! Looks like some real potential there! Chuck
My buddy found us a seemingly endless suppy of maple and some beautiful walnut. Been in bed and on the couch for over a month with a cranky back. Got the MRI yesterday and won’t get the results until the 25th. I’m pretty sure my wood gathering days are over. Take a look.
Bill, I hope you get better news than you might be expecting.
Wood gathering doesn't necessarily mean trying to haul whole logs, or even cutting them up. It can also mean going along with friends and helping with smaller pieces, and directing those who are doing the heavier lifting.
