How much would it cost me to turn a bowl out of this ash burr?
slackbladder replied to RobArb's topic in Woodcraft Forum
Hi Just one comment if you so turn it green then try and turn it in one go ,if you do part of it then leave it a day or two it will move (warp ) -
Allow at least 1 hour per inch of thickness of timber,but preferably nearer double that

Ouch >I don't mind paying a fair price for burrs nut £150 is a lot How are you ever supposed to make it pay.You would need to turn that into something like £1000 of stock to recuperate that outlay

What type of burrs do you have i am always on the lookout

messed about for 3 weeks making it but it was my first and i haven't steam bent anything in 40 years Hopefully next one should take half thjat time Interestingly most books etc say that you can't steam bend kiln dried timber..You can and most articles say to leave wood in steamer for 1 hour per inch of thickness.double that and add your age
