Small Wood Gloat - Catlapa and Walnut

[Keith E Byrd]

I was visiting my son in Pennsylvania over Easter and while driving around we spotted a pile of wood slabs out by an old barn. We stopped and talked to guy and he said that he uses any money he makes off the pile for a childrens program at his church. So for a few bucks I loaded up some slabs of Catalpa, one walnut and a walnut log. An unexpected find while visiting my son! I just realized I misspelled Catalpa in the title - how do you edit the title?

There should be a nice bowl in that log there.

Catalpa can be a bear to finish........sanding is a long process, but nice stuff can come from it and the combination of walnut with catalpa.......here is one I did a few months ago....

Both are good turning wood. I love walnut and have made several pieces from both woods with no problems.

Thanks Steve - I have messed up the title a couple times and didn't know how to fix!

Donny I suspect more than one! That log is about 18"x32" - with any luck I will get to turn some his weekend.
