From the trash to the lathe

[hunter-27]

This little piece was not really big enough to use so I tossed it away. :bad:From the depths of the garbage a little voice called out to me. :giggle: I dug down and found the little bugger. Decided to try and save it. ( I hate to toss things away) :good: The dang thing had a nast bark inclusion under the surface which fell apart right away. :curse: Several gallons of ca later (sure seemed like it anyway) I made it stay together. :at-wits-end: Anyway here are the details and a before and after photos: :biggrin:

shoulda let it stay in the trash

Just kidding. That is very nice, and someone will be glad you saved it. As they say, one man's trash can turn into treasure. Or was it..........oh nevermind lol.

I love it, especially because you worked harder to get it. We should do that more often. I get (whst I sometimes think is) crap at my woodturner's club raffle, but I think I should look again. And get my CA ready and handy!

Very nice,
Dale
