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 having a meal with the family for her 80th birthday.
Well at least today I managed to get to this stage now to complete the conversion after having to sort out the wood store to fit it in as room is very tight. And I still have a 12ft long piece of yew to go and look at where am I going to put that when I get it.
The thickest piece is 4" and the thinnest is 2 1/2". The large pieces in the first photo I can get a 17" bowl out of them they are also 242 long so can get some smaller ones out of it as well. Well worth the two turned wooden pens.
