That list of timber makes me jealous!

That list of timber makes me jealous!

When he handed it to me, I was SHOCKED!!!
They were too small for him to use (he turns wood for bowls, canes, stoppers, and so forth, as well as making plaques and canes)
They are small pieces, but enough for a knife or 2 EACH!!!
The largest are 2.25x.75x9.5 inches (padguk) and 1.75x.75x14 inches (walnut), while the rest are significantly smaller.

Now, to learn how to work with hardwood . . .

(I'll bet that last line just makes you SICK )
->I will be "practicing" on the poplar and the oak (which is the scraps from his cutting a log into planks-> the wood just below the bark, with bark still attatched at the moment.

Several I will NOT touch for a WHILE!!!
Esp-> the Ebony, Olive, Padguk, and Bubinga

Now, to get some REAL blades to do the wood JUSTICE.
(I'll be linking and printing ALL the DIY sqian dubh threads I can FIND)
