I've been turning but haven't posted much lately. I have been reading a lot but I figured I'd post this because its such great news. I was just talking to a friend of mine on facebook who said he'd love to try turning, I was more than happy to teach him of course and during our conversation he mentioned something which will surely change my life. His dad cuts down trees for a living...BINGO, YAHTZEE. I'm not sure how the news could get any better. I have been friends with him for years and didn't know this.
Well, its all arranged, im gonna turn with him on Monday, hes gonna start keeping an eye our for trees being cut down and when he takes home a beautiful bowl that he made, his dad will be floored and insist on giving me all the wood my lathe can handle. It's sure to be a good time. Hopefully I'll take some pictures.

BTW, one of the questions he asked me before I found out was whether wet wood is ok. I was thrilled when he said that.
