Cutting Blanks from a log

[Dave Wimmer]

I just saw this on another forum and provided the following link:

I think it is the best guide I've seen.

[Chris Barton]

Great post Dave!

[Mark Patoka]

Thanks for posting that link. I haven't turned enough yet to just be able to look at the piece of wood and know what the grain pattern will look like.

[Jeff Horton]

I decided to print this one out and save it. Just to much good info there!

[Rich Stewart]

A good one for sure.

[Gary Herrmann]

Saved it and printed it. That will be handy once I start cutting my own blanks, once I start turning, once I get my lathe set up...

[Bernie Weishapl]

Same here. Printed it and saved it for cutting my own blanks. Thanks Dave.

[Don Baer]

Thanks for the post and for me it is very timely.

[Jerry Ingraham]

That is a great reference article! Thanks for the link.

[Jason Boushard]

nice post gonna have to go out and get my new chainsaw dirty :)

[Jim Young]

Something new that I've never seen in a book. Definetely a keeper.

Hey Dave,
It is a great handout that we used at a club demo in late 2004 (North Florida Woodturners). Supposedly from Todd Hoyer, but I cannot substantiate that.

[John Hart]

Thanks Dave...I've been looking for something like this. :)
