Long and wordy, go away now if you're smart. Regulars know I've had a good year. Spent a whole week learning from Glenn Lucas, more recently did a workshop day Cindy Drozda.

Glenn's main source of income is bowls, lots of them. He will routinely process around three hundred or more bowls at a time, I think that's right. Everything from chainsawing the blanks to drying, to finishing. He has retail outlets that sell his bowls and order regularly.

Cindy Drozda is known for her delicate finials, elegant hollow forms and working with exotic one of a kind pieces of wood. Most of her items are one off and sell for a pretty penny. She also makes money from selling tools.

Today, I started working up the maple log I posted a picture of earlier this week. Put on my carharts, my steel toed boots, my loggers helmet and ear plugs, my leather gloves, etc. etc. etc. Fired up the chainsaw, muscled the blanks around and trimmed them up, coated them with sealer, stacked them, etc. etc.

Arms feel like rubber tonight, legs are sore, back aches a little. After much reflection I have decided...Cindy has a better plan than Glenn.

I probably feel the same as you but all I did was yard work today.  If you notice I stick mostly to turning small items.

Mine too...from sitting and watching Class 1, 3 & 5 State Football Championships while the fat cat laid in my lap

Shoot, I even sent my 6-1/2 y/o grandson out to get the paper & mail this morning...

I'd say you at least earned your room & board.

It might take me a week to cut one that size . I got winded getting out Christmas for the yard and finishing up on that.
