I am sorting through logs that a procured 15 plus years ago some of it will be firewood and some will be turned!

Hi chuckie
Yeah, I have sealed the ends, but have you never
turned wet timber I think it, s a lot of fun, and turned
thin you can get some amazing shapes and forms
something that is a bit different I guess!
ribbons flying, less dust, it has a lot of plus, s
Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them

Cheers smiife

smiife I have turned wet timber! and I was lazy and didn't clean up and it made part of the lathe bed go rusty! but your right there it's cool getting paper thin walls and using a light for consistencyin thickness!
