    Default busy yesterday

    this is yesterdays efforts finished the last 2 this morning ,they are for an order .
    the timber ones are made from the timber from the customers farm ,hairy oak and cypress root ball ,( by the way that cypress root is a shocker to work with destroyed a band saw blade and in seconds ,full of hairline cracks and clogs sandpaper quick as a wink , full of sticky resin kinda sap stuff ),just had to mix the kits up a little and try and get a little variation in the pens for him .
    still have one more large order to make and a few smaller orders then i can get to and finish the hat stand i am making for some one , then maybe do some more work on the canoe i am building for the wife , then i can order the plans and start on my canoe , thats if it keeps raining long enough to keep me out of the tractors .
    i bought one of those pendant making chucks and some blanks for doing those a week ago , can't see me getting to them for a while .or the gavels i want to make .

    Thumbs up

    Great little collectin there Texx.

    Don't forget that all rootball or root timber retains more moisture than trunk timber, and some rootball timbers -eg. Cypress pine willrapidly lose tha moisture on exposure to air. This causes splitting.
