Oooh! A neighbor just texted and asked if I can have some fresh cut walnut logs! I said "you had me at "walnut".
Bowl in the photo is from a log the same guy gave me about this time last year. It had started to crack so I cast the whole workpiece in epoxy resin before turning the bowl. Hopefully this next batch will be more solid.
OK, not importing all my old data but gotta post this one before calling it a night. Another piece from the river birch burl my neighbor gave me. I hated the finish the first time around so last week I re-mounted it on the lathe, carved away the top layer, sanded and hit it with Waterlox glossy. Ahhh, that's better. 10" wide x 5" tall.
Someone mentioned they were not able to upload a photo so I'm testing with a pic of my latest #woodturning.
I make stuff with code and with wood. Just, you know, not at the same time.
