And, a little wood gloat ....

[Cathy Schaewe]

I promised some oak burl to a few people here on the creek, so figured I'd better get out there and cut on that tree I previously posted. Here's some pics .... and then I had to get them bandsawed into manageable sections, and sealed. Then we cut down a big maple .....:D

nice looking bunch of wood

[John Keeton]

Cathy, that is some awesome looking wood, and I see a really nice NE piece in that chunk on the bottom left of the last pic!!! That piece is meant for that new Jet of yours!

[Roger Chandler]

Nice haul! That burl really has some future potential..........looking forward to when you turn that one into a piece of art!

[David E Keller]

Great gloat, but where's your sense of adventure? Were you not at least a little tempted to chuck up that huge chunk in the first photo?:eek:

Of course, that might mean purchasing a new lathe, but isn't that part of the appeal?;):D

JK, can you say 'you suck' to a judge?

[Pete Jordan]

Nice score, Cathy!

Beautiful grain.

[John Hart]

...JK, can you say 'you suck' to a judge?

I think you just did.;)

Look at all that character!!!! I've been cutting up logs all evening, and only came up with a couple medium pieces with decent character. You got yerself a whole truckload!!

Congratulations Cathy.:)

Nah, since he's getting a piece of the burl to work his magic on, he's not that foolish!;)

And, as always, many thanks to the hubby who is unselfish with his time and energy, and goes looking for the "right" trees to cut down for me!:)

[Jon Lanier]

Nice gloat! Your going to have some fun with all that. :)
