Well, I am one of the jillion residents of the SF Bay area who are ordered to shelter in place for the next three weeks (at least). Accordingly, I am looking for some long-length challenges on my PM2020 lathe.
My question concerns several pieces of Cherry that I got from my neighbor's front yard some months ago. I have never tried turning a rough cut hunk of wood like this before. It is 14 X 14 X 7, and I put Anchorseal on it as soon as I brought it home. (Picture below).
So how do I cut/trim this before mounting? I assume that at least to start, I will use a Wormwood screw.
I have turned other bowls, including some large ones, but never a rough-cut like this. Your suggestions are most appreciated.
