Picture #6 - I took a chance and cut it up. Looks like one side grained piece about 7-7 1/2" and an end grain thing 3-1/2 X 4" (What am I saying......... end grain............... There ain't no Grain left in this thing.)
The biggest piece is mounted in Picture #7. My lathe was crying "What did I do to deserve this kind of treatment?" I had to agree, but a gift!?!?! MUST be turned!
Picture #8- If I remember correctly............... Andy said something about this being "SPALTED HICKORY"................. Looks more like Rotten limburger cheese. Talk about TEAROUT. Good thing I had my faceshield on. Think of turning Green wood where the Water feels and sounds like Grains of SAND hitting you. The picture really doesn't do the punkiness justice!
Picture #9....................... HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM at least there seems to be some interesting stuff going on here.
Picture #10 - Boy am I going to have to do SOMETHING HERE! .................................................. Better stabilize it or it's going to GET ME!
Oh OH , That's ten. Got to go to another post!
Be Right back!
