As the owner of a tree service, i say 'come on' or 'where do you want me to dump my truck'. Unless your wanting my high-dollar oak or pecan, Ill just about give anything away (unless I want it to...

put me in please...thanks.

I bet you dont get one w/ your order unless you requested it. I got a bandsaw for christmas and there was no catalog with it.

OOOOOOH! Count me in! Cant wait till you pull my name.

Was playing around tonite and going to make a kitchen scoop but messed up the end so i ended up making this rattle w/ captive ring. Its the first one ive ever done and even attempted.

It doesnt...

As a professional arborist, I only machine sharpen when the angles get way off and I dont have a replacement on hand, which is rather rare as I buy them 4-6 at a time. Ive got and have used the...

Turned this apple bowl last nite, finished w/ walnut oil. about 4" tall x 10" diameter. Piece had a small twig inclusion I hope doenst spell its demise.

I think im gonna take a load (and i mean a LOAD) nice, green, sappy, sticky, gooey pine stuff to the middle house on the west side of hayes street just for my buddy Dr. K. Ill even be nice and...

The tree was dead from pine wilt. The nematode that kills the tree robs it of all sap so it was dry to start with. Id never turn wettish pine, they suck just cutting them down, so i cant imagine...

You been talking to Keller? He said about the same thing.

Ive got plenty nicer, just making a momento piece.

Thanks guys. I just got home from taking it to her and she was definately surprised, even brought a tear to her eye. While the tree had no sentimental value, she hated to see it die.

That will...

Couple pics of a bowl i made last nite from dead pine tree i took out of my cousins back yard. Im taking it to her but she doesnt know it! :eek: :D

Its about 11 inches diameter at the top and...

Thanks guys for the imput. Gives me a little more hope it will be nice to work with.

Roger - thats got a nice look to it. not as boring as i feared.

Anyone here ever turned catalpa? I cut one down today and kept a piece to try. Its pretty light and easy to cut but wondered if there's any look to it turned or am i wasting my time.

I has an...

That looks like the elm tree I cut down! Nice work Baxter. Id already seen the one Doc made and it too is a fine peice of work.

ive thought too it was an interesting wooded tree. next time i cut one down, ill have to save some. dont think i have any right now...or do i?????????? guess ill have to go look.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

3/4" x 3/4" x 6" cuts = ink pens...thats my opinion! (mainly cause i cant get a stupid bowl made let alone a hollowform)

In doc's defense, he's showed me things and tried to help. i think too i need to take him the peices that have launched and see if he has any ideas (bad foot, etc).

Scott: i show up w/ wood and...

the first peice was some green sweet gum, the other was some semi-dry black walnut. I say semi-dry as ive had the original log best of 2 yrs before i got into turning and cut out the blanks.

both...

never mind, i found her...might have to try some!

where do we find ruth niles?

I think im going to stick to making pens/pencils and the such.

Ive tried making bowls now twice and both times the blank has flown off the chuck while taking out the middle. the first piece...

Ill garauntee thats no redbud. the redbud also has flakey red/brown bark and they typically dont get more than 20' tall. They can get burly and the wood is pretty when turned.

Not sure what...

I watched the whole thing...seems the 'driver' isnt driving fast enough. too much power surge and he's having trouble keeping his gouge cleaned out.

interesting to say the least.
