My neighbor had some tree work done and I caught the cutters and asked for the river birch and the limbs they took off a live oak. Doing some hollow forms with the oak and it has some great grain and dark lines . this is just the turn to finish. Had to allow to dry a few days to sand well as the wet end grain did not sand well.

any time soon......... These are too good to take apart! This scene with the owl must have taken the artist so long to plan and put Together! All of the different types and cuts of wood make for a Very detailed piece of art. The moon actually looks like its glowing! While this design is a little more basic, its no-less Cool than the other ones. It seems like it might be A little more practical in the winter, too. This spiral looks really Cool. It must be interesting to see it deconstructed in the winter As more and more of the logs are Used. I would personally have a hard time taking apart Something that looks so Interesting. The wood-piling artists Are getting very creative. I love how this one uses old wooden Wheels To give their work an Extra interesting element. This dog might not look Very impressed by this fish-shaped wood pile, but we sure Are! I think the stump that Makes up the eye might be my favorite part. This one is incredible!

The detail that the Artists captured are actually mind-blowing. You could stare at this One forever trying to figure out how they stacked the wood. This is Amazing. I love this one. Some of The piles look like little huts while others look like giant Acorns. This artist blended Their wood stack right into the exterior of their Home. It looks nice, and it Will keep them from having to go far for more Firewood Once the winter hits. It’s pretty and practical! This ring made out of Logs is hypnotizing to look at. It must have taken a great amount of patience To build. Owl mosaics seem to be Pretty popular in the wood piling community. I love how Beautiful all of the different Woods look in the first one.

So for those of you who burn wood, what type of wood do you like to burn? How much do you use in a season? What do you have for a backup source of heat? Where do you get your wood?

Well, while on a Road trip, saw a place selling firewood by the chunk...50 cents. Thought about it, turned around and went....shopping. Dropped five dimes into the cash box, and got back into the van with a chunk of.....Ash? Oak? Not too sure. Measured at 11/4 thick! 7" wide, by 12" long. Might get some use out of it? First up, a bit of hacking away with a hatchet But in order to use this thing, I needed to sharpen it up. The chunk under it is the live edge, aka bark. With bug tracks too. Got the four sides about flat, maybe, and made a mess on the floor, again.. Then tried a larger plane to get the edges flat and square to each other Note that plane? The rear handle will be a pattern of sorts, later. Got out the scrub planes, and worked on the faces, to get them flat and coplanar to each other, and MAYBE square to the edges until I had a block like this But it was still way too thick. Laid a line around all four edges, roughly in the center of the thickness. Grabbed a VINTAGE saw, and set it at full depth of cut. Cut all four edges But it wasn't quite deep enough. Grabbed the hatchet, again, and used it as a splitting maul.. Until I had two blanks that needed a little clean up. with a jack plane. Then some layout against that try plane's tote. A forstner bit took care of the internal cut out, and the scrollsaw did the outside work. Placed the Pattern onto the try plane to check out Ok, most of the pattern is done. Still need to dig out the dovetailed bottom out of the other try plane, add it the this pattern, and cut out the actual tote. Then shaped it down, and add it to the old plane. That is the plan, so far....

Well, you know the old saying, "I like to make firewood in the woodshop" and for me that could not be closer to the truth! Here are my first few attempts at turning, before I read any instructions and watched any videos, I just chucked up some wood and went to town, and made firewood! I am doing a little better now, have not been on my lathe for about three weeks since I made my first successful bowls, but I'll get back on there soon enough!
