I am blessed to have a large amount of olive wood...just short of half a cord! 6-12" trunks that were sealed 2 years ago. Given my new bandsaw, I had a lash slicing it down the middle...like butter! But it is still wet! I really want to keep it in bowl stock sizes. Some is going to head out in return for some cool cherry I received awhile back!
These logs are highly figured and smell fantastic! Hard as a rock and almost impossible to turn with Tormek sharp Thompson tools. I don't have and am not a fan of anchor seal since the ends are already coated. So any suggestions to dry 6x6 rounds a bit faster? I already snapped a tenon...1/2 thick on a 4" bowl at 500 rpm. That led me to say HELP!! Happy New Year folks!!!
