Coop 7452 Posted August 4, 2020 Report Share Posted August 4, 2020 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bmac 1295 Posted August 6, 2020 Report Share Posted August 6, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
