My son is learning fast another wood gloat

[Don Baer]

Well son came home last night and said "Dad can you help me get this wood out of my truck ?" so I go out with him and this is what he had brought home. I asked him what kind of wood he said and he told me thta I was the expert. The he said "it's wood so I guess we can turn it." He's been hanging around you guys too much. I told him that it might be easier if I had some leaves to look at and he said that he'd ring some home tonight since there a lot of these growing in the field next to where he work.

The big one is 12 feet long and over 12" at the base. I guess I'd better pick up some chain oil while I'm out today. It seem pretty dry but I'll seal it up anyway. I ought to get some blanks out of it

Nice gloat Don. Now when are you taking delivery on the new Rikon lathe? :eek: :p Figured you might as well or you will never get any turning done now. You just had to show him how didn't you.:eek: :eek: Don I think that is great to get the kids involved. Have fun my friend and enjoy it.

And perfectly priced for practice wood. I'm currently making my mistakes in some citrus wood I kept from some dead trees just for this. It is also a good way to learn the prep steps for found wood.

Well I cut it up

Now I need to get it all sealed up. I still don't know for sure but think it's Mesquite. If Chris remembers to get some leaves for me I'll know for sure.
