cut

I have come by some cherry and would like some advice on the best way to cut it for bowls. As you can see from the pictures i have marked the bigger piece with felt tip pen to find the centre. It is a ovalish shape and thought of cutting it in half along the grain, then in half again half way...

A some may remember I was given quite a few lumps of Chestnut burrs a while back anyway when I turned a couple of pieces I rough cut the lumps to make it easier to turn and make them a little more balanced for when I turned them. Not being the type of person to waste wood I cut some into rough...

Hi All, This is the other cut I made of the same pooch.

Hi All, Just finished this cut for a friend.

I got given a very old large board of an unknown wood from a local National trust property. It was still complete with saw marks and black on the outside. When cut, I was surprised to find some lovely green wood. I presume Tulip wood, the property had a large old specimen cut down a long time...

Here's one that gives me a lot of work. 4 attempts before ending the cap, very hard to cut. Wood exploded three times while turning the blank down. But i'm really satisfied how it came out.

Yesterday I posted 2 Tiger wood Pens. I am thinking of trying to turn wood cut on the cross especially Tiger wood if I can get some. This would be a first and I would be great full for any help. I haven't got any facilities for cutting such blanks, so I may be wishful thinking...

Well this project has been planned a while.....i stop end turned an Omega tube to a snug fit, cut some glue grooves and bonded it in. Now i need to cut the upper case for a cap and do the same....

I had an interesting result with some blanks I cast and thought anyone wondering if they should paint the tube or the blank might find it informative. 1st ... paint the blank. So I made a slab cast with baby pine cones in it. Came out nice and I cut it into blanks and proceeded to drill one...

Can any tell me what this wood is Please this is a closer pic of the end after turning a fine cut its not been sanded but it has a beautiful finish

I chose this star sign because it was the simplest to cut. :-)) Scroll saw Star sign - YouTube

Had a go at casting with the tube in place rather than drilling. I didn't mix the resin well, it didn't seem to fully cure even after 4/5 days but it still cut OK. The pen is a Zeta and the resin is Opti cast 100 PU. Colours by Alumilite. Turning a pen. - YouTube

The other day I had a fall, thinking nothing of it and just part of what has happened the other week with my leg I thought I was on the road to recovery and soon be heading back into the shed. Well that came to an end today my poor foot is now black and blue and painful, so off to the hospital...

I have a nice piece of genuine Lignum Vitae given to me by an old friend many years ago. Not sure if to cut it for pens or if it is worth more in a larger piece? I have four blanks from the edge I did cut off but now I am not sure. I know it is hard to get in any size at all, so don't want to...
