    One way to show off a walnut crotch.

    This is a HF I turned last week from a recently acquired walnut crotch. I hope to get the rest of the tree soon. I put the old milk jug in the picture for a reference of the size.

    Cherry Crotch From Firewood Pile

    I was hoping this crotch would be better, but I guess it could be worse. I 'think' the defects will turn out on the left one, maybe the right one also. Problem is, it's ~16" across and I have a Jet Mini!:no: What you folks do with these hunks? :eusa_thin

    How to cut this crotch

    For maximum figure expression and ease of turning?? If it makes any difference my lathe swing is only 9". And is this even worth turning into a bowl. It's Silver Maple from a client's front yard. Thanks for any advice that can be offered. Dave:-)
