Haven’t been around much, I haven’t been turning much either, but a friend had a walnut tree go down and he let me have the root ball and stump as well as some other pieces. I’ve already roughed out a few bowls from the root, and I’ve done two natural edge bowls, hopefully I’ll have some pics up once I get them dry and oiled up. One posted for proof.
Now that I remember how to use my lathe I want to get to the stump. It has a nice ridge going down one side that maybe could make a good platter? I here are the top/bottom/side pics. Looking from the top I’m thinking about 2 cuts- see my sketch.
Thoughts?
