[Jim Becker]

The head-hunters have you making their pots these days?? :D

(Wow...that's a big'un!)

[Steve Schlumpf]

Popcorn Bowl???

[David Fried]

I hope he's not in the orniment exchange!

[Brian Weick]

um Wally, ,,,,,, I don't think that is turned yet-so it really isn't your first "turning" , I think it's your first attempt with something this large, if it is turned - you either need new glasses or your gouge definitely needs some sharpening-:D
Cant wait to see what becomes of that!:eek: You have to take some pics for us with that blank turning- if you can! thanks
Nice Wally
Brian

[Pat Doble]

McNaughton or Oneway for the coring ???:D There's at least 30 bowls in there.:)

[Jim King]

I used to be your neighbor from Fridley 30 feet from the New Brighton border. We never saw a poplar like this up there. This is Catahua and might have some nice grain to it. We dont have time to play like this every day but will post photos when and if it gets turned.

[Bob Hallowell]

Wow- Can You Imagine What Would Happen If They Tried To Apply The Doble Finish On That Thing When It Was Spinning! :d

[Bill Wyko]

When do we show up with the pool toys?:D Looks like a job for a VB36.:rolleyes:

[Rich Souchek]

Sure looks like a Blue Bell ice cream bowl from here......

[Don Orr]

Hey Wally and Jim,

You Southerners sure do things different down there. That's one serious big hunk of wood. Looking forward to seeing what you end up doing with it. By the way, how are you going to boil that monster-in a volcano?:eek:

[Tim A. Mitchell]

Hey Bob maybe make a HF with the monster HF rig!!!!:eek: :rolleyes: :cool: ;)

Does that rig come with a seat so you dont have to run on the inside?

[Ken Fitzgerald]

That blank kinda gives meaning to the old saying "Go big or get out!":D

[Andy Hoyt]

Hurry up already, will ya.

My mint chocolate chip is melting.

[David Epperson]

And exactly how much DNA is it going to take to dry that thing. :D

It will turn up to 92" inboard, 100" outboard. The original brochure says that if you dig a trench you can go as big as you dare!!

[TYLER WOOD]

I see a lot of toothpicks in there! Hey Andy, think they can borrow your trash can? They might have a few shavings to pick up after.

[Eugene Malone]

And I always thought that they built the wall of death not turned it ,
Good luck Boysie

[Glenn Hodges]

Wally if that thing comes off the lathe at 500 rpm it would probably end up near my home.

[Skip Spaulding]

Beautiful lathe, great hunk of wood, looking forward to seeing the results!
