    Thanks Calm. Nice to know I am not the only evil b*****d here . Now you know why the English language always extracts the worst of me.

    As for everybody else, are you

    a) gentlemen

    or

    b) devoid of any sense of humour?

    Tallow wood power pole. But may as well have been a Stobie pole. Roughed with the C1 rougher. Then a bowl gouge and traditional gouge. Skew to get in the corners. to get the ripples out. Power sanded with 80#. Will be sanded to 400# next week. (My "shavings" were more like saw dust. gets wood chips off his. Might take me a while to get up to speed. )

    I reckon with those splits in the wood, it must feel like turning concrete with rebar through it...

    Here are the finished stools. My two on top of all the ones did. Sanded to 400#. No finish yet. That is applied by the person they are turned for. I think they get DOed.

    Default Power Poles.

    Hi All,
    If ever you need a Pole, you very nicely ask the local Electricity Supply Co.& more than likely you will most likely get one & usually at no cost & might even be delivered.
    Of course you have to ask for the timber type you would like.
    These days they have a few Treated Pine Poles, & most definatly leave them where they are, as they are the older type of treated pine.
    I was Employed by The S.E.C, for 33 yrs. as a Linesman, & at times we would drop a Pole here & a Pole there.
    Regards,
    issatree.
