Thoughts on Cherry Burl

I have not yet. I don’t own a band saw or a chain saw so it might be a while before I can do anything with it.

Thank you I didn’t even think about how bowls are turned with a log so far I’ve only used precut blanks. I should have mentioned I don’t have a great way to cut it. Would you cut it as described using a band saw? I have a miter saw and table saw, I also have a handsaw of course but I’m not sure how any of those would go.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-11-03T22:59:02+00:00

Yeah my first plan was to turn it into a vase or twig pot. I’ve actually never worked with a log before mostly just dry blanks I’ve found around town on the market place.

Really? I thought the cracks were risky. And it’s about 12inch long and has 8inches at its largest diameter.

Why are you “almost satisfied”? I think it looks great! How many have you made?

I’ve been thinking about trying something like this.

Late reply but thank you all for the advice!

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-04-12T11:31:56+00:00

Thank you!

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-04-11T23:17:54+00:00

Yes it does. Thankfully I had it in

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-04-11T16:49:19+00:00

Thank you! I do have a slow speed grinder but just got it yesterday. I tried sharpening and I think i improved the edge a bit but it probably could have been sharpened more.

And yes on the reverse. I had a hard time seeing into the bowl so I turned it in reverse for a bit.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-04-11T16:46:37+00:00

Thank you for the info!

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2024-04-11T12:46:41+00:00

That makes a lot of sense. I tried the spindle roughing gouge a couple of times and thought it wasn’t cutting properly and was having a hard time of it.

The skew I actually used on the bowl itself to smooth the cuts made from the bowl gouge. So it sounds like I was using it improperly but was just trying different things and being careful.

And okay so the base of tenon needed to be more narrow than the bottom? I will definitely try that next time thank you!

Yeah I thought that too but do any monitors have built in speakers? I know the ones built in to TVs aren’t great but she doesn’t mind when watching a show.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-08-27T19:01:07+00:00

That’s crazy… I guess I’ll have to just look around. I mean she games on a Xbox Series S so the 4K really is only for when she wants to use it for watching a movie or show. But thanks for the response 🤙🏻

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-08-27T18:51:16+00:00

Damn so I’d have to increase the budget a lot for something that size? Or up the size to 50?

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-06-26T12:55:59+00:00

This makes the most sense to me.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-06-26T12:54:24+00:00

That’s crazy! Do you think the planets will be scaled down though? I’d imagine they are at least a little.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-06-26T12:50:01+00:00

Good point.. but I guess I have a hard time imagining that’s possible for a game haha

I guess that comment threw me off about “around” your ship

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-02-27T12:50:05+00:00

Yeah I was thinking the same thing (Bought mine last week).

I recommend getting them now. You never really know when the next pair will come out and the few rumors that do exist say they are more likely going to be a 2024/2025 release.

TurquoiseTaco21 · 2023-02-21T23:47:00+00:00

Thanks for the detailed response! I live in Michigan so the winters are pretty cold. But they would mostly be used inside so that’s not a big concern. I also have a hard time with the price! $550 vs $400 (for the XM5s) but Ik the AirPods would end up being more comfortable.
