I have only turned once since the weekend before the Fourth of July. Work stuff and family stuff have had me out of town or otherwise not enjoying myself in the garage. On my birthday 7-23 my wife understanding the growing central nervous system problem that was developing sent me to the garage and I couldn't even make a Roughing gouge work. So flash to this week, I have a brother-in law and his two boys living at our house until thier new place is ready (only 2 weeks more). I decided the boys could cut the grass and after brief training I headed to the shop.
Here is the result. Its a Cherry Burl from Bill at the apparently defunct Penns Wood. About 6" Dia by 4" tall. Boy I miss that guy. It full of holes, bark inclusions and cracks. Sorry this is the only picture as my battery died in the camera this morning. Heavily drenched with Antique Oil. Mildly hand buff with paper towel.
School starts on Tuesday next week so I be a bachelor again and will have more time in the shop. Its good to know I can still turn.
