Cedar Score

[Jeff Rich]

Here is a pic of the cedar I mentioned in an earlier reply.
There was also a 6ftx10" mulberry log and a partial birch log, which had split when it was cut, hoping to salvage it.
Cheri has been looking for some cedar for about a year, this should quell the thirst for about a month.

Nice find. I can almost smell it from here.

[Jeff Rich]

We got the english ivy for free as well.
It smells great! Very sappy though.....

[Richard Madison]

Some pretty wood there Jeff. Might want to get those ends sealed asap.

[Jeff Rich]

Anchorsealed already!
I buy the 5 gal pail so I always have plenty.
Cheri will make sure it gets turned before it has a chance to crack, she is a fanatic, LOL.

[Steve Schlumpf]

Congrats on the wood! Looks like it will have lots of color! Looking forward to seeing what it gets turned into!

[John Keeton]

Interesting wood to turn, though not my favorite. I found it beautiful, but prone to tear out.

Congrats on the find!

[Bernie Weishapl]

Congrats on a great find. I love turning cedar. Oh and it makes the shop smell great.

[John Tomasello jr]

Congrats on the wood. Turned one red ceder HF had no problems with it

[Jonathan Harvey]

Does turning green cedar gum up your tools? Is it easier to wait for it to dry?

[Jeff Rich]

It does gum up the pants and shirts and hands a bit at first, but when you get it spinning......
I have not had a problem with cedar and tools though.
A bit of a pain to get out of clothes.
I was able to get one blank out of the birch and 3 bowl rough outs in mulberry.
