Couple biguns' for me.....
Next up! How many names can a species be given before it gets confusing? Easy.....a LOT!!
This is a chunk of stuff I have very little of, so it isn't offered on the website, and I'm keeping what little I have left. It goes by the name 'Maclura pomifera' always...but can be called "Osage orange, hedge apple, horse apple, bois d'arc, bodark, or bodock".
This stuff is hard! After sanding to 600grit, I felt it would be a waste of time to do much else with it. So I applied some BLO, waited awhile and then EEE and waxed....ready to drive nails now!
Sr. Gent chrome:
Seems Saturdays are made for turning stuff? Well, at least here it is!
Having had to wait a few days to receive a 37/64th drill bit from a vendor on amazon.com was driving me nutz....just a little. But it was my fault for not looking closely enough when ordering some new(to me)kit from timberbits.com
Almost forgot how bad this stuff smells when being drilled! Made the 'One-that-must-be-obeyed' run out of the garage to get fresh air, and she is a smoker!
Anyway....Desert Ironwood{Olneya tesota} on a Sr. Gent 'gold rollerball'
Finished by sanding to 600grit, applied BLO, then EEE friction polish, and then waxed.
As always, comments and critiques are most welcome!

I think my head just got too big to fit through the doorway....how will I ever get to the bathroom, or back to the lathe?
Thanks for the kind words....it's all in the timber, I just found what was in there by mistake!
