walnut

Well having got the walnut home it was time to rough cut ready for conversion into turning material. So this is where I am at as of today, I would have been further ahead but Saturday I spent the day at our turning club watching a demo by Mark Sanger, then yesterday I was out with the wife...

I was asked a silly question for a turner. A lady came up to me and asked if I would like some walnut. being a turner the answer took all of 1 second to answer this question. A little recycling picked this little lot up today now totally knackered. It is walnut, has been laying there for about...

Had a rummage through my wood blanks and thought I would rough turn one of the Walnut ones. Turned the outside and did a moisture test and it was down to 12% so the log had been laying around longer than I thought, so I decided to turn to completion. So here it is, size is 9" X 2"
