Rich’s Turnings…
Sep 19, 2016
This is a project that I am putting together from a few pieces of wood that my neighbor threw away from a tree he had removed from his yard. I told him I would have removed it for free and would have taken care of the disposal hu hummm into my back yard wood seasoning area!… LOL…

I had found a few pieces of wood that my neighbor in San Jose, CA. threw away when removing a tree from his yard. I asked him if I could take them and he said "oh Rich I forgot that you could use the wood" .. He said he actually had a few pieces that we about 3-4 ft in diameter. Arghhh! Anyway mounting up this piece about 10 inches in diameter to my lathe.

Cutting, cutting and more cutting away the bark, dead and cracked areas. You never really know what you are going to end up with. Sometimes you literally end up with something as small as a pencil...

Unfortunately my original mounting became an issue because it was too deep and wide (better than wearing a large piece of Cedar as a septum piercing)!
-
Here is what I ended up with. I am making a chalice or wine glass shape that will have either Ebony or Zircote as the stem and base.

Side view... What do you think?
