This afternoon a box appeared on my front steps. So I brought it inside, opened it up, and look at what popped up! The squared off one is Sissoo, AKA Indian Rosewood, the round one is Mesquite. They made their way up here from Arizona compliments of Kathy Marshall. It will be a real treat to turn these, not the sort of things we find growing in the Pacific northwest. Many thanks to Kathy!!!

Y'all need to have a little patience, I probably won't be able to get at them for a while, have to think of something worthy, then practice on more readily available stock before committing to these.

Either the very early hour or the excitement of the arrival caused you to forget the pics!

Best,

Oooops, they are there now. Somebody must have made me forget. As soon as i can figure out who to blame, I'll let you know. I think it might have been that new guy Hayes... Yeah, pretty sure it was him. :D

Mighty fine looking box of wood ya got there! :D
If you haven't turned either of those types before, you're going to love them. Both turn, sand, and finish nicely. You're welcome and have fun!

Now just need to decide on next months victim ;)
