TWO CEDAR BURL BOWLS and other things
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)


A friend of mine that works in the logging industry dropped a couple shallow Western Red Cedar Burls this fall, as well as Yellow Cedar blocks. They gave me the inspiration to starts some work in the shop
This one was round and had enough wood for foot for the chuckIt turned into this, The contrast between sap wood and heart wood is attractive.The bottomThe other Burl was more attractive in the end but it had to be mounted way off center where there was enough wood. I felt I had to attach it with a faceplate and screws for fear of it coming off, It shook my lathe up allot, tool that I lay on the bed ended up on the floor.The color was great on this one, lots of variation caused by the grain of the burl. hard to capture with a photoAlso sent out some spurtles that where requested from a You Tube video I post long time agoRecycle1943 in the comments of the las project I posted said he was looking forward to seeing some innovated projects I built from scratch. This one is for him. I had an snowblower from an old lawn tractor, a motor I picked up cheap, and an old quad. Thought, why don't i put them all together and make something useful. This is not my original design that was in my head. If you don't work from a plan one can easily change and come up with most any thing and a way to fit the bill. When it snows more I will see if it works, we did have one big snow fall, but I had to get the big guns out. now it is warmer and with some rainOther than that I have one other innovative project that I tested out yesterday, just have to use it for a project soon, so stay tuned.Thanks for looking, more good things to come.
