[se7enthdevil]

and more.

[se7enthdevil]

and even more.

[se7enthdevil]

and yet even more.

 

[se7enthdevil]

also did a load more mahogany persian meels and a set of six 5 1/2" oak balls for the same customer.

another thing i did was to clear up the timber rack at the joinery shop i'm renting. 

[se7enthdevil]

only to fill up the lowest area with all my skittle timber i had delivered last week. there were 56 9' beams in total. about 2 tons that i had to shift by hand 3 times.

I just had a look through some of the great pics on this thread, fair play I love your work Steve.  Turning can be rather boring as sometimes people just turn out endless bowls they have no use for, but I love the skittles.  I like the way you also nest bowls - good way of avoiding waste.  Wood turning is always going to be wasteful but at least with nesting, the block gives you three bowls for the price of one!

 

Have you ever tried Holm Oak for balls?  I am assuming the balls have to be pretty heavy.  I love the grain of Holm Oak and guess it would make amazing balls?

cheers mate...

 

i'd love to get some holm oak but it rarely grows near me.

 

it would not be heavy enough for skittle balls anyway. 50lbsft3 is not heavy enough as the woods i use for the balls are 70 plus...

Ah shame, I have quite a few lumps mainly with spalting as well.  Don't get offered much sadly.  A very local solicitor offered me a large tree a couple of years ago which would have yielded three or four tons of timber and trunk diameter was about two feet.  When I pointed out it would cause some damage to his lawn to extract he said he would have it cut up for firewood instead.

 

If you are over the bridge in Wales give me a shout if you want to see my Holm Oak.
