Title: I cut up an old Cherry log
Post by: woody on November 21, 2012, 04:08:54 PM
I had a 14" wide dome to 6" wide at the other end X 24" long cherry log that I have cut up at last it is the last one of a tree that I was given some 10 years ago here are two bits of it one is a 12" x 6" sliced beef server and the other as you can see a 8" x 3" bowl had a big split in it as you can see and it only just disappeared on across bottom from one side to the other both natural edge with no bark

t I was given some 10 years ago

Nah, the rate you turn stuff out there is no way you'd still have a lump that big 10 years?

Lovely colour for cherry and the grain works well - especially in the front of the last photo. Did you handle the splits in your normal fashion?

Lol honest I did have it that long LOL it was touch and go with the split I kept well out of the line of fire it run out on the last cut and yes I did deal with it in the usual manner

Well Woody, yet again ...  beautiful figure to the bowl, timely save for it and with the age too ...   :D ...

Can't say as to the bottom of the banana boat being flat, nout will roll to the middle, still a lovely piece.

Well done,

David
