I turned a few calls in the past week or so. The oak are a Christmas gift a friend of mine wants for his kids. I loved the way the oak looks- came from an old barn beam. Nice and buggy looking. The Others are a maple and the last two are the 1270y/o oak I have. To be honest the last two are experiments and I just loved the grain in the wood and wanted to show it. The thing I love most about the turning I am doing is seeing what is inside that wood. Grain and character we would NEVER have seen.....Thanks to my buddy Ed for pointing me this way and to dad for loving carving my whole life. I have always thought it would be interesting, but I have little patients for carving. The lathe makes things quick, but I have found some patients for some detail too LOL. Guess that is why I love turkeys so much I can't sit very long in one spot...so when I run and gun...I can do that!!! Thanks for looking!

That was a real knot filled and cracked piece. I figured it would break, but I wanted the grain to see how it looked.

They look nice. I was talking to some guys making bowls at a demo. On some of the real burly nasty grain they turn wet or fresh cut to almost finish dimensions. They place the turning in wood-chips and sawdust and allow it to dry before finishing.

I just took a bowl class the last two weeks and turned green wood. It definitely turns different. I wish the 1270 y/o oak turned better....actually it isn't bad, but the way the boards are cut I really have very little wiggle/error room. Mostly 1X's.
I have not been into wood until turkey hunting. I am loving it now.
