I went over to Pats today and looked at a couple of logs. We think we would like to start with a smaller 12" walnut log first. So the bowl blank would be 10"x10"x6". We're thinking of about $20. These will be square blanks as Pat doesn't have a bandsaw and we both have full time jobs. I will Anchorseal (original recipe) the end grains. Is anyone interested in these, we could do both traditional and natural edge blanks.
Also, while I'm thinking of it, I get no financial gain out of this. I'm trying to help out a buddy and get a source for bowl blanks for me.
Post here for those interested.
Thanks.
P.S. This vase is from the same section of log.
