On the way home from Wallyworld I noticed a log beside the road.Someone had cut part of a dogwood down.It probably is 5" in diameter at it widest and tapers down to around 3". Its close to 7' long.It had been cut long enough for it to already check some.Im going to coat the endgrain and remove the bark. (just did this)..Powder post beetles love dogwood around here...Should I do anything else ?Im in no rush to make anything with it. (really got enough pokers in the fire already for now!)
Ive processed some maple in the past...a whole tree.I was twice turning as hard as I could to get it rough turned but I want this to just sort of hold for a bit as best as it can!.
On the smaller end I may turn that down to a flute size...lot of excess for a flute but not another use for it on things that I make.
