Wood, wood, wood...

[Jason Christenson]

I collected these stumps a few weeks ago at my parents place. I'm not up to bark inclusions and the like yet, but I'll get there. Any suggestions on how I should divide this into blanks would be appreciated.

Thanks.

That's some great looking wood! Is it cherry? Hard to tell from the picture but the logs in the background look like cherry. Anyway, I would cut the blanks into sizes about 4" larger than the swing of my lathe. Be careful about the debis that can be in stump wood. Rocks and dirt can be really hard on steel blades. Good Luck!

I'd split them at those fissures and take it from there.

Nice lookin' haul you got there! I just kinda wing it. Not too good at this sort of thing. But you sure have a lot of fun sittin' there Jason!:)

... how I should divide this into blanks

Send 1/4 to TN, 1/4 to ME, 1/4 to OH, 1/4 to CT !:D

Boy, I should have such problems!:D :D

Nope, never had to worry about anything like that Jason - Sounds like you're getting some good advice - Have fun!!
