The missus says well done you. She had a go on a pole lathe yesterday and said it was really hard.

Some recently finished work , for an event and gallery stock , ... various woods some I have never seen turned before and are rarely available ,... Beech burr , Beech, Ginkgo and Griselinia, ...Just to show what can be had from the firewood pile of Arb waste if you know what you are looking for !!! lots still ends up as firewood but none of this was from nice timber butts and some cut on site straight after felling ... Terry ..

So true, I pulled a load of burr pear out of a wood pile the other day, in fact took two burrs of horse chestnut out of another pile 5 days before that and the other day i cut off some brown burr oak (Laetiporus as aposed to Fistulina brown) from a tree stem blocking a farm track! will post some results shortly.

 

also rescues a big arse walnut that was so full of nails as to defy belief, cost me 250 in damage but ended up with so many blanks some upto 25 inches across and al heart!

 

Trying hard to salvage all i can as fast as I can now as we leave for Bulgaria in months, and this kind of timber will be as hard to find as rocking horse manure!
