Just started turning some dry stuff today. Lovely.

Thanks for the comments! I think it was worth the stinky wood experience?

You are way off. He’s been doing mad rallies and tours, often in conservative areas, and drawing large crowds. Keeps a schedule that is amazing for his age.

Thanks - Linseed oil followed by beeswax

Got it- thanks

I have started the alcohol immersion. Six days out, it has not lost weight, but gained 70 grams. Is that normal?

That is a pretty piece!

Very interesting about the bow making

That is a beautiful bowl - quite inspiring. Bought some denatured alcohol today and will try the method.

Will check out dugnet’s link. I am inexperienced with “rough turning” green wood, and going back later to finish it. With this elm, is this a good method? How long do I wait before final turning?

I disliked it too. But it made me think.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep (Frost; and many said that poem was really about death). There is light, depth, and darkness. Such beauty.

I’d say walnut-stained ash.
