Cherry Haul

Dave Peebles Lyons, Ohio!

>Hello everyone,

My friend Ken DeMarco and I spent a few hours this afternoon converting some really nice Cherry into turnable chunks to feed our turning addiction.

This was something Ken stumbled on a few weeks ago, and was kind enough to let me in on the score.

We hauled enough home to keep us both busy for quite some time.

My poor little S-10 was really feeling the weight on the trip home. :) But I made it home just fine. Thanks goodness it was still light out, or I surly would have been giving everyone the high beams all the way home.

It was a great day, hanging out with a woodturning buddy, and scoring some excellant stock to boot.

It just dosen't get any better than that!!

Best wishes,

Dave

>Can't you find any with a decent size? About all you can do with that is turn small wine classes. Maybe a thin vase or two.

Nice haul Dave.

Turn 'em round,

Hello Everybody! I figure I've been hanging around WoodCentral for a few years now so I might as well officially post a Bio. I'm Jennifer and I reside in the heart of the Midwest in Indianapolis. You'll usually find me hanging out on the turning side of WoodCentral, but I check the Main forum too. I started woodworking about 25 years ago mostly interested in flatwork; small furniture and other items to use around the home. Then I discovered the lathe and became obsessed with it. I've been turning for about 23 years now. My love and excitement for turning has taken me into the world of teaching and frequent demonstrating. Lots of experimenting with textures, color, burning over the past several years. I've recently begun dabbling in metal clay work and have started incorporating it in to my turnings too. It's another toolbox full of toys! When I'm not turning, I'm hanging out with the love of my life and most honest critic, my husband Clay. In order to keep the lathe spinning and the lights on I spend the other part of my day at an ABC television station directing the evening newscasts.

Thanks

>It is some great wood. I gave a lesson today to a new turner so we had a chance to spin some.

She had never turned green wood before, so she had a great time making shavings.

Most of the wood is around 20" in diameter, and some pieces show some nice curl in it.

It look like a long day of roughing tommorrow..... can't waite to get to it. :)

Best wishes,

Dave
