Wood Score

[lkorn]

I am currently on assignment in a shipyard where the vessel was put into drydock yesterday. Many of the supporting blocks require compound curves that were cut with a HUGE bandsaw with multi axis tilt on the table. After congratulating the staff for the excellent job of blocking the ship (everything fit perfectly) I started talking to the carpenters who built the blocks. Next thing I was walking away with a rather large chunk of Ligmun Vitae! They ripped a few boards for me and left the rest (at my request)

Nice score Larry, I was happy just to get a few blanks of that stuff from Bill.

 

[Fleabit]

Sweet! Some of the boards have some nice grain in them.

 

[Old Griz]

I haven't turned any, but I hear it makes a gorgeous pen and finishes like a dream...

I mave worked with this. Turns great the wood seems to have a lot of natural oil in it. I guess thats why they use to make shaft bushings out of it. You have got yourself a great find.
