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 inches. Plus a couple crotch pieces. That said, I'm new...

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 describe. I felled a black locust about a year or year...

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 equalize a bit.

And thank you, John for fixing...

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 black trash bags?

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.

Terribly sorry for the formatting, on a mobile device.

Huge black cherry dropped a limb last night. This is what I got out of it.

I go to the hand plane before I even consider a sander. I have a drum for more difficult/stubborn stock but I enjoy a hand planed finish so try and stick to that. A small random orbit maybe here and...

I would (and have) just put some fresh hide glue on the dowels and put it back together. Chairs sometimes just don't "sit" right with additional fastening. Stress is redistributed, etc. Sometimes it...

I like that the handles come off my socket chisels. Easier to sharpen for one, you can fit a longer handle when needed, etc. I just make sure I tap my chisel on the bench before I use it - backwards...

I really, REALLY like the curvature in the chair seats (first pic). The "drop" you added is going to enrich the design even further.

Hi Greg, thanks for sharing - those all look like pretty cool projects.

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 though.

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 them. I got a set for the router table though and...

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, assuming the stock is available (and the piece is for...

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.

Oh, another project - very nice. I'm happy to watch along.

I put a 600 grit cbn on my tormek and absolutely love it - I do however use the platform for free hand sharpening of turning tools alittle bit more than the jig. I've also had the chance to try out...

Good call, especially thinking ahead to working space. Stuff works differently once all is setup and I guarantee you'll move more than a few things around, a few times. Something else to consider is...

Looks great! Sad to hear that the school is closing though. I'm a huge fan, met him at LN a bunch of years back and felt like he was a good person to shake hands with. I've wanted to attend a class...

Superlative work - really enjoyed watching along!
