I have a customer that is wanting me to turn a gavel from an oak tree that was cut down about 1-2 months ago.
I have rough cut the wood down to an oversized blank that I will need. I turned the square pieces slightly just to get them into a round shape. I also sealed the ends of the now rounded blanks. The blanks are about 1”-1.5” dia. Oversized from what I need.
Now what. The customer wants them for December present. Go ahead and turn them or wait as long as I can and hope the dry some more? Just looking for advice on what to do next.
