Got Some Shop Time

[Grizz]

I actually got some decent time in the shop today. Did a few pendants and was able to rough out this Cherry Burl. If I do it right, I think this just might be my best 'bowl' ever. Currently soaking in the DNA.

Looks like a nice piece of wood. Post some pictures when you are finished.

Why the DNA soak?

Why the DNA soak?

It helps to dry the wood, I believe.

Why the DNA soak?

Alcohol replaces the water in the green turning. Alcohol evaporates quicker for faster drying time. 2-3 months I can finish turning opposed to 9 months.

Grizz love the cherry burl. Good luck with it.

Grizz,
Take your time on that one, it could win you some blue ribbons and maybe a magazine cover. That is one beautiful burl.
