The freezer/refrigerator idea sounds like a good idea. I will try it and get back to you. I still have a piece of the cherry that cracked most recently.

Everyone seems to have good luck turning relatively green wood and having it turn out just fine. No pun intended. For me, whether it be oak or cherry or whatever, I get the piece turned and finished...
Jim, where did you find it for $50. I have a subscription and they still want $125. Would love to have it and $50 sounds like a great deal.
Can't get the picture to post.
Just a simple bowl but it looks kinda nice.
I turned a bowl yesterday which seemed to come out pretty well. I took a piece of oak from a recently ice damaged tree and turned it with the end grain facing the tool rest. Is this the right thing...
I did the same thing with a candlestick turning. It seemed like slow motion as the 1/2" chisel entered the web of my hand between the thumb and forefinger. Bled like the dickens, but I didn't see the...
I have used this wood before, and no matter how you finish it, it will fade. I t is very expensive, and the color will definitely change.
Relax, take your time, and enjoy!!!!
Thanks Jim, that was one of the routers I was looking at. Did you get the fine adjustment knob?
My table router has gone to the great workshop in the sky. It was not optimal any way. What is your recommendation? I know that the PC 7518 or new Milwaukee is probably the best, but I don't have...
I'm finsihing some tiger maple that was dyed with an analine dye. How many coats of Watco wipe on poly should be enough? The wood seems to drink the stuff.
Everything being equal, Powermatic hands down.
I have narrowed my search down to these two. The Delta is about 420.00 plus more for the dust hood. The Dewalt has the dust hood, spare blades and a 50.00 rebate until 3/31 bringing the price to...
We have the same situation. Missed two shows. Infomercials have now replaced shows even on PBS. Something abut learning to play the piano.
I got it from Groff and Groff. The figure is great. I have taken the wood and put it in the house now, so we will see if it straightens out. The stripe is very pronounced.
I live in South Carolina, so we can't get tiger maple around here. I am going to build a clock and wanted to use this wood for this project. I bought 10 board feet of 4/4 from a company in PA. I got...
