Here is some of that :ufw: at it's finest. Actually - other than to rib Rob I'm not sure why we call it that!

This is Wild Orchid from the Rebuilds. It's the first time I have ever turned it. It has a nice tight grain and turns and polishes very easily.

It is 7.5 X 4.5

Another beautiful form! Great work!

I actually turned this one with the end grain at 45 degrees just to show off that grain. It wastes a fair bit of the blank but usually produces a nice effect.

It is a pretty big chunk I'll see if it is here at the yard. It may still be at yard #1 (home stash) :sarcastic:

I remember it being so much bigger and prettier :sarcastic: I'll have to cut the yuk out and see what we have :treehugger:

Wow. That's seen better days. I think pepper mill blanks will be the most you get out of it. That first pic shows some beautiful grain though. Lets see what you get when you cut the yuk out.
