Turning Wood

[Bernie Weishapl]

Well finally got some wood ordered. Been waiting for a bit for it since Mike has been gone BUT I finally got some Claro Walnut before the famous John Keeton got his hands on it.:eek::rolleyes:;) Also got some mimosa and holly. The Claro is for potpourri pots that my sister ordered for Christmas gifts including the 3 x 3 claro which will be ornaments along with the holly.

Nice little stash Bernie! Can't wait to see what you make out of it.

[David E Keller]

That looks like a box of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing them round, smooth, and shiny.

[Christopher K. Hartley]

Nice looking stock Bernie. I bet they make great gifts.:)

[Pete Jordan]

Nice haul Bernie,

If you get my way next trip you can have some black walnut.

[Tony De Masi]

Ok. New wood and new steady rest. Now it's really time to get to work.

Bernie, that is some cool wood. I think you'll like the mimosa, but be forewarned (if you are not familiar) - it will turn your hands blacker than walnut will, and seems to me to be caustic on cast iron.

[Jon Lanier]

Yea! Wood... I wouldn't mind if I got some of my pay in 'wood.'

[John Keeton]

Bernie, you are going to enjoy that load!! The mimosa really looks nice - Mike tried to get me to take some, and I wish I had.

[Bernie Weishapl]

Thanks all. I think this is going to be a fun load to turn. Like I said in the other thread if grandma will stay home long enough now so I can turn something.:mad: But I guess I shouldn't complain since they are 4 hrs away instead of 23 hrs.

John I hope that mimosa turns out as pretty as the wood looks. I have turned one piece and loved it is the reason I got more.
