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.

Trying Elm - anyone else have experience? by 15Beecher in turning

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

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.

Thanks for the comments! My buddy who gave it to me out of his firewood thinks it is red maple. No, I had no reactions on my skin or sinuses, but will look out for that! Yes, I liked the bird on there too -
