forty_caliber Posted February 15, 2023 Report Posted February 15, 2023 Supposed to deliver today. Waiting on another part (tool shelf coming in from Ontario) to arrive before I can unbox and assemble. Legs and power box have to be detached to install it. So it will be next week sometime before it's running. .40 HARO50, lew, Larry Buskirk and 1 other 4 Quote

Standing up in the back is Ash, The one in the front and the the one next to the Ash are some type of Oak but not White Oak and I don't believe Read oak either. Pin Oak? The other four are Elm. I tried to texture one of the Elm today but it was too brittle and did not work out well. Turned it off and gave up on it. The one on the lathe is Elm.

Rightly or wrongly - I've always thought that oaks were either red or white with all the different varieties and species being subsets of either red or white. Pin oak is pretty common in our area and is a red oak variety. Those elm bowls are very nice, all of them are actually, but the elms have a beautiful color. What type of elm would they be? Fred W.

You're right Cal. The Oak bowl has the Red Oak color but the grain is smaller/tighter and the pores are tinier than I usually see in Oak I find around here. This came out of a firewood pile. I went looking and found this Black Oak picture and this is what mine looked like. It is in the Red Oak genre. The Elm is from my yard but I don't know what type it was.

Popular Post forty_caliber Posted March 3, 2023 Popular Post Report Posted March 3, 2023 New lathe setup. Powermatic PM2014 sold. Five bowls turned on the new lathe in the kiln. All pecan some with spalting. Can't say enough good things about the swivel head feature on the RP. Allows more ergonomic tool access when hollowing. No leaning over the work trying to get an angle on the gouge. Gathered all the off cuts, failed specimens, funnels, disasters, and other unusable bits and sacrificed to the fire gods. 6 big cart loads over to the fire pit. Fire burned for 12 hours. Now I'm going to have to make another woodpile. .40 lew, Larry Buskirk, Fred W. Hargis Jr and 5 others 5 1 2 Quote
