I'm happy cause my little Jet lathe came,along with a truckload of goodies; pen kits,mandrels,pen boxes,blanks,a few things not IDed yet and a bunch of loose bushings that I have no idea where they're supposed to go.Guess I'll have to dust off the calipers.
The real confusion came when I decided to start accumulating some local wood for pen stock.I am like an old hound dog locked in a meat store.I don't know where to start.I have several acres of hardwood of my own,Lake Martin has about 740 miles of shoreline loades with old wood,a friend has a tree cutting business with scads of old and new trees of every type.SOOOO obviously I can't hoard it all,so I would really appreciate any ideas of some of your favorite native wood.We have about everything except hard maple and mesquite.HELPPP.
