p_toad Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 My neighbor was cutting up a muscle tree which had fallen in the woods some time back and i noticed that it had a fair size chunk at the base and appeared to be spalted. I thought maybe someone would be interested in trying to turn this (I have no lathe)... so here are the pictures...if you're interested i can probably meet you somewhere in NE ohio to deliver it... too heavy to mail.

Dadio Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 I hope someone takes you up on that here in the forum , Would be interesting to see how it turns. Herb Quote
Chips N Dust Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 I am sure that will produce some really nice pieces. I hope one of the ohio boys here will see this and take you up on it Grandpadave52 1 Quote
Steve Krumanaker Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 That's a very nice offer, just to far away to take advantage. Steve Quote

No idea...i wasn't back there when it happened and it was laying on a thick pile of leaves... we've been having a lot of the dead ash trees break off and fall and i can assure you...they make plenty of noise and the ground shakes..

HARO50 Posted February 25, 2017 Report Posted February 25, 2017 BUT.... do they make a noise when you're NOT there to hear it? John Thought I'd beat Gramps to it! Grandpadave52 1 Quote

Related to that, if a man says something in a forest and there is no woman there to hear it, is he still wrong? Grandpadave52, Dadio and HARO50 3 Quote
HandyDan Posted March 5, 2017 Report Posted March 5, 2017 Pete, why not saw it into small boards and make a box out of it. I don't usually turn large items but I will take the log and turn a couple bowls with it if you want to give it up since there were no other takers. Quote
p_toad Posted March 6, 2017 Author Report Posted March 6, 2017 Dan...sent you PM...hopefully it worked ok. Quote
p_toad Posted March 9, 2017 Author Report Posted March 9, 2017 Had a chance to deliver the chunk of wood to Dan today. He was kind enough to give me a wood vise and one of his turned pens and we had a chance to talk for a bit over some coffee - sorry, no donuts. Hope it turns into something nice for him!

It was great putting a face to a name and I will get to the Iron Wood log soon and see what I can come up with. Cal, Gene Howe and p_toad 3 Quote
