On a roll

[Dalboy]

After seeing Ken's (hawkeyefxr) post on his very fortunate wood stash the luck must have come down this way as today my sisters arrived for my Aunties funeral tomorrow and they dropped in for a cuppa and a chat. Well to cut a long story short this is what they brought down as a little gift for me, they are both a member of a bowls club in Cirencester.

I feel so lucky now to decide what to use them for.

Take up bowls?

Not with my knees Phil

 

[woodhacker]

how you gonna hold them for cutting? Only asking because I have a couple and have been holding back until I find how to hold them.

Good luck cutting them up somewhere in the past Woody went through how he cut and used them, they can be mighty tough.

Hold it sometime like this, but with a couple pieces of wood that is concave on one side, use your band saw.

When I've worked out a good way to hold them securely on the lathe Bill I'll knock a few out.

 

[Winemaker]

No good for anything just send them to me

 

[Bill Mooney]

This is a clock I made Keith. The clock can swivel on the base as it is two separate pieces.
I'm at Llandudno from the 18th of this month. If you find time pop over & we'll have a natter & I'll tell how I made my clock & show you an alternative to my clock.

Best offer offer the day mate, hands on and up front with Bill.
