After reading a few websites, it sounded like birds perfer rough lumber and colors that do not attract attention. So, I had a pallet out back (from an incomplete...
Tommy Mac and his show, Rough Cut, were back on UNC-TV at 3 PM today. Which one of my NCWW colleagues do I thank for this? Back when UNC stopped airing his shows, my repeated complaining through e-mails and letters was apparently ignored. I gave up my efforts months ago. Anyway, thanks to...
I've been looking at the burls on a large red maple tree for years and it was cut down last year when the property was developed for commercial use. I stopped and asked about it before they got around to cutting it and was told that it was already spoken for and was to be sawed into lumber. It...

I'll either need:
Twelve 18' and eight 10' boards

Now I am torn on how to turn them. I have turned burl before but it has always been in a nice square block form. These are not -
Most are half logs with the burl wood on the outside.
Normally when I turn a half log...
