I don’t have the logs or burls. The ole boy gave me one burl. But, he said he would sell them.

Thank goodness I don’t have that tempting me.

If I did have them, you would be getting that big check book out!

No sir. My lathe is vertical and is called a drill press. 

i told my wife years ago to cut me off if I ever even suggested buying a lathe. Some times I don’t think she knows what one is and thinks I bought one.

@Bmac you may want to save alittle more of your egg money. I will have some curly white oak lumber. Don’t worry about the Houston Boy getting any, he has all rooster’s and no egg’s! 

[wtnhighlander 7712]

Ooooooo, that's gonna be some pretty lumber!

[Coop 7624]

That's going to look psychedelic after your quarter saw it!

Are you going to QS that or is the log too small?

[B1rdhunter 267]

Looks pretty small from Iowa. 23 inches?

[Spanky 1223]

That would be a pecker pole log.

[Coop 7624]

What determines a pecker pole log? The diameter of the log? If so, why cut them so early?

The size of them! People Love Money And Want All They Can Get!

I'm up to my next in white oak, quarter sawed 4 logs 2 years ago and then I got that nice shipment from you this spring. Even though I know it's going to be nice wood, I'm going to have to pass. Maybe you can pry some other wallets open, may take a big crowbar.

[Spanky 1223]

Well.......I see that you are tighting up on me!

If I ever get one your phone will ring! It want be the Houston Boy or Bmac’s phone ringing! 

[Spanky 1223]

@Mark J can we talk about you turning a small bowl out of this curly white oak piece?  I would like to have one bowl from the Famous Turner from Chicago.

[B1rdhunter 267]

I would not mind a few hundred bd. ft. of curly flat sawn with the quartersawn.

Start saving your egg money for some flat sawn curly white oak lumber. You need to call your sister-in-law and tell her you are coming south in the spring.
