Popular Post Askland09 Posted July 3, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 Little update from the load of walnut I picked up. Two little dishes/bowls from one of the logs. The one on the left is more straight walled and will be either a decorative dish or catch all tray. One on the right will be more of a traditional shallow bowl. Now we play the old 5 month waiting game to get them dried out. Learned that walnut is SIGNIFICANTLY easier to turn than the white oak I started practicing with. The shavings just glide off. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhighlander Posted July 3, 2022 Report Share Posted July 3, 2022 The swirl of light and dark grain is going to be lovely when those are finished! Let's hope they dry well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They both got a coat of tree saver and put into my little “kiln” so they should*** be ok but we’ll see here in about month or two 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
