I have a full shop so I can saw any way that's needed. I left these all about 12 to 18 inches long with some smaller pieces and one piece at 24...

Hi John, I'm going to use them for small bowls, lidded boxes and some miscellaneous smaller items. I wish I had space to set up a log like you...

Thank you for the advice everyone - I won't be able to get to them until about mid October so going to put them in the back of the shop and let them...

Ok, I rolled on two coats of tb2... what was handy. Enough?

Just realized I don't have any anchorseal in the shop. Quickest I can get it is tomorrow afternoon. Should that be OK or should I put the pieces in...

Thanks! Cherry doesn't grow too well out here in NJ so I'm lucky to have the tree on my property. There's another smaller one next to it.

Breathtaking. If only I could have explored places like that during my short visit... as for the boxes, they're beautiful; not sure if I'd carve them...

Assuming you mean the stock guides and not the featherboards (which I like a lot actually). I have the stock guides on my table saw and really like...

I don't think 8/4 is enough for that piece, which means have fun finding kiln dried material of proper thickness (for me anyway). Regardless,...

It seems like you still have to get that log flat and square to use that saw, no?

Depends on how much of a hurry you're in I suppose. I like doing it in stages if possible.

Oh that makes sense. Thanks.

Hi Bruce, I'm curious, how do you imprint your signature. That looks really well done.
