What should I do????

[Tuba707]

So I got a huge block of absolutely beautiful amboyna burl... whatever should I do with it?

 

[Dario]

Careful...you will recieve a lot of addresses to send it to LOL []

PICS! We want pics!

 

[stevers]

You got it Dario. E-mail me and I'll get you an address. I'll even pay shipping.[}][}][}]

 

[kent4Him]

Joel, it is better to give than receive. I think that you should give it to some of you past customers. You still have my address.[]

 

[fiferb]

I think you need to come and visit this weekend and show it to me.[}][][]

 

[Tuba707]

You are all so kind, pointing me towards giving and selflessness. I'll have to think about this

<br />
EYES!

<br />

It isn't huge, I guess, but it's 13 pounds. Big enough of an expenditure for me =) It's got a big wormhole but I should be able to get some really nice blanks out of it. I'll mill it when I get home in 2 weeks. There are crazy eyes on two sides of it.

 

[Tuba707]

Bruce, I don't need to stop by now, since you have pictures of it, right? []

 

[richstick1]

Joel - that piece is screaming Lidded Box or Small Hollow Form!!

 

[Nolan]

Nice piece

 

[Tuba707]

Its about 10 x 5 x 5. I haven't been turning for very long so I would not feel confident using this block for something cool like a hollow form - especially since all I have is a 3/8 gouge and a 1/2 skew =)

Wow...not just a few pen blanks but a huge block! What luck! Kirk[8D]

Hmmm. Probably some luck and a lot of George Washingtons.

 

[LEAP]

How Much? []

 

[Tuba707]

A lot of George Washingtons =)

 

[fiferb]

Joel, Even with the pictures I think I need to look at that wormhole for you.[}][] Can't be too careful you know.

 

[Tuba707]

Determined, aren't you, Bruce =)
So whats in it for me? []

 

[fiferb]

A day of turning, comraderie, and I'm always willing to trade or barter.[8D]

 

[Tuba707]

What are you up to on Sunday afternoon?

 

[ahoiberg]

i say you drill a hole down the middle, stick some flowers in it and call it done. []

 

[BigRob777]

Joel,
Something told me that you'd have plans for it. What kind of saw do you use?
Rob

 

[fiferb]

Joel, Sunday I'm waiting for you to come and play in the shop (or fish). PM me and I'll send phone and directions.

Its just a Delta 14" bandsaw with a 3/4" resaw blade and Kreg resaw fence. My dad loves how I use his birthday present way more than he does =)
