I was out in the shop yesterday and decided to take a little lunch break. When I left the shop, I found out right away that the postal carrier had dropped off a package :D. It was a box of wood from Tom Winship!
I had sent Tom a box of wood a couple weeks ago, and he reciprocated in kind. There was some Live Oak, a couple pieces of Water Oak, a piece of Elm and a piece of Texas Mesquite. The Texas Mesquite is way different than what we have here. It's a nice red color and looks like it might have a little curl to it. I'll have to think of something special to turn from it!

This morning I grabbed one of the pieces of Water Oak and turned a bowl. Didn't measure, but it's about 5" x 2", finished with DO and General Finishes WTF. Turns like, well, Oak, but it's got some nice color to it and some character with the worm holes.

Thanks Tom!
