Beware---Wood Gloat

[Gary Max]

Right now I am working on building two Quilt racks made from Cedar.
had to stop ----come in get the camera---go out take this pic----come back in and post it----then go out and cut another board
This one is mine
Cedar Eye Burl-------this is just awesome and it's mine---all mine.:biggrin:

Really there is no such thing as Cedar Eye Burl ---but it's my board and I can call it what I want to

When I get home tonight I will post a pic of a very nice ceder burl. This thing is almost perfectly round.

 

[Gary Max]

Heck---I want to see what's inside the burl not what the bark looks like--:biggrin:

Gary,
I have White Cedar burl, but the grain just curls around and no eyes. Nowhere as interesting as your Red Cedar. Nice find.

So here is that burl. I know I would love to cut it up as well, but a buddy of mine wants something special. So I may be turning this into a lamp.

 

[Gary Max]

Hell I will send your bubby a gift card and he can go to walmart and buy a lamp-----:biggrin:---as soon as you ship the burl to me.
Thanks for posting the pic

 

[witz1976]

yea, he may be a little ticked off seeing how he gave me about $400 worth of whole cherry burls. I think I will keep this one and simply have fun turning it.

 

[Gary Max]

Ok---I don't want him mad at you---he may find more---at least you could post a pic of the lamp when you get it done

 

[witz1976]

fair enough =)

Hi Gary,

I know we aren't professional photographers, but would be possible for you to try to take a close-up pic of one of those pieces flat on the bench/table, with the bark pointing upwards ? I can't see the grain very well on the pic you posted, I may need stronger glasses also but, if that is possible I would appreciated!

Cheers
George

That pic is shot sitting on a table saw top in my shop----if the sun comes out today I will take a better pic just for you George----heck it would be nice to see the sun.

Tell me about the sun. I haven't seen a nice day in weeks. Today we have high winds up to 50+ mph. Its going to be fun on the road with all the truckers.

Jim --it snowed here yesterday---again. Temp last night was down in the mid teens. I have about a weeks worth of firewood left for the shop.-----I am ready for spring.
The light meter is spinning so fast -----if it came out of the meter base it would cut down half the trees in this county before it slowed down.

 

[Gary Max]

Are these better???????????????????

 

[PenMan1]

Didn't you see! This wood has cankerburyrottonnogooduhoh disease. Box it up, send it to me and I'll dispose of it for you before you get into trouble

 

[Russianwolf]

Gary call me stupid, I see some nice quilting in the cedar, but not any burling really.

Thanks Gary, most appreciated.

Now I can see why the first pic did look out of focus to me...!!! look at all that ripple/quilt...! and about those colors...!!!

Yeah, well, I got a few bits of different woods but noting like that, unfortunately...:frown:, I'm a sucker for pretty timbers!:biggrin::wink:

Cheers

Mike,

In case Gary doesn't get back to you would it be OK if I call you stupid????

:biggrin: :tongue: :biggrin:




BTW, I agree on the quilting, but couldn't pass up the chance to be a smart, well you know!
