I posted some picture a couple weeks ago of some walnut I'd scored. I spent the last few days working it into some bowl blanks. Basically I made a big mess in the back yard.

I've still got three more little crotch pieces to cut into blanks but almost done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Did these this morning, some of them are near 20" diameter and may end up as platters, still haven't convinced myself a 20" bowl is a good idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So far I've gotten just over 20 blanks, almost all of them crotch areas and I can tell there is going to be some really nice grain in them. Got my work cut out for me over the next few weeks though. It will give me a chance to practice with my coring system.

I've still got two more huge sections of walnut to get home. They are big enough, I'll have to work them down before I can even load them in my truck. Figure there is another 20 blanks or so still to be had.

That is an AWESOME score on that wood!!

Nice Steve.  That's a lot of nice Walnut.  I have been doing the same thing but no pictures yet.

You should keep them under lock and key. 

 

That is some nice looking wood !!

Sure hope you have a lot of space to store all  that beautiful Walnut.
