The NE Train

[Raymond Overman]

Since the natural edge train has been whistling through here I figured I better add another car.

The tree was featured in a local newspaper in this article (http://www.heraldonline.com/109/story/13631.html).

Water Oak
6" x 4"
BLO/MS/VAR, waxed, and buffed

Raymond that is a beauty. I really like it. I turned some water oak a couple of weeks ago. Seemed to turn pretty nice. Nice work.

And the Overman Express comes whistling through the station! Nicely done Raymond.

Sunday while introducing a local resident to turning I was showing him some of my early turnings....He wanted to know what is SC Peach?......I told him how you sent me those two blanks.....

Ray nice job I like the deep bowl you got out of it .

Ray - great looking bowl! Beautiful grain, lots of bark and looks like it is light as a feather! Very nice job!

[Dennis Peacock]

Wow...really like the grain patterns in this one. Very nice piece Raymond. :D

[Joseph Peacock]

[Neal Addy]

That's beautimous, Raymond! Really nice job!

I gotta jump on this NE bandwagon. Hmmm... the neighbor's tree looks interesting...

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Neal.......Stop!....carefully place the chainsaw in your hand on the ground......place your hands behind your head........Walk backwards towards me........

Becareful Neal......Don't want to see you on America's Most Wanted Tree Thieves Edition!

A little known commandment Neal:

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors trees. :eek:

Thanks for all the comments guys. The nice thing about this one is, I have about 15 more blanks out of this oak. Should make some nice pieces once I get one of those tuits.

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors trees. :eek:

Are you speaking from experience??? :eek: :D I'm seeing Raymond pumping down the road with his chainsaw, ducking and dodging with his neighbor out side standing front of his downed tree waving a 12 gauge shotgun! :D Pardon my rambling!
That is one beautiful bowl there... it really has a softer grain and I love the delicate shape you gave to it! You did an excellent job with this one!!!

Is it okay to covet their burls?:confused: ?

Great bowl with a neat story. How thin did you get the walls????
