WOODTURNING NEWS!Check out our popular Norfolk Island pine blanks. Steve made this beautiful closed form which is one of my very favorite pieces.
Turning blanks from the Lead Tree are now on our site. This is an attractive wood and is very stable. It has varying shades of brown and cream colors.
This is the first time that we've had this wood and it is selling very fast with our walk in customers. Unfortunately, we don't have anymore logs of it so don't miss out on your chance to try this great turning wood. Also new for us are bowl, spindle and tall cylinder blanks of the Bay tree. We have these in limited quantities. This is not a tree that is often taken down.
We have added Tipuana Tipu, which is a member of the Rosewood family. It turns easily and is a stable wood. Monkey Puzzle bowl blanks are now in stock. We have a small amount of Hickory with attractive, black-line spalting. Black Walnut, Camphor and Indian Rosewood spindles are available in 4" widths. We also cut some Rainbow Poplar in 5" and 6" tall blanks. Camphor logs, so large and heavy that the tractor didn't want to pick them up!
Steve is pondering the best way to cut this crotch piece; hoping for some nicely figured wood.
For those of you who like doing tall forms, we now have Sycamore and Indian Rosewood up to 10" tall. Great for vases and kitchen utensil holders.
We've finished milling these Monkey Pod logs and have bowl blanks available in 4" to 16" diameter. Spindle blanks are in sizes from 2-4" widths in various lengths. We are carrying some favorite woodturning supplies: Pentacryl Wood Stabilizer, Odies finishing products and X-Shield, the best face shield that I've ever tried.
A Rosewood log is pictured above during the milling.
