First set from wood haul.

The stain in this maple is hard to beleave. It's going to be a long wait for it to dry. The largest bowl is around 17" IN DIA. The wood is solid as well.
Thanks,
Jack

Beautiful, Jack! :icon_thum Hope it doesn't crack! :nah:

Wow! I wish i had more to say, but I am jus blown away. Wow!

Not hard for me to believe. I see wood like that quite often but I pass on it because it usually has bugs and there is never enough there to make much lumber, let alone enough to kiln dry. For a long time, I've been wanting to saw up and seal a pickup truck load of turning blocks for you darksiders. But I havn't got around to it, maybe one of these days

I am sure they look beautiful, but for some reason I can never see your pictures here at work. I tried looking in your gallery, but no recents.

Will check them out when I get home,

Not much words can do to express the awe in those pieces. Now, where did you get that wood? Is this some cultured-spalted maple or was it natural? I've got lots of maple around here, some spalted to the degree it ain't worth firewood and some just outstanding but I ain't got any like that. That's shore sum purty wood there.

Well I am sure with the wood that you produce, you sure would make some nice looking turning blocks for us Darksiders. :gar-Bi

Don't wait too long. :eusa_naug

Thanks all. This was from a stump I got first of the week. It was in an old mans yard and he had already had it cut down to 4 ' from the ground. It had three large forks that I was able to get. They where around 24" in dia each. The tree only had around 24" from the ground to the forks. This section was 46" by 36" and it took alot of work with a 20" bar on my saw to get it sliced up to roll into my truck. There was some gravel and a few nails in the forks that I think must have added to the color of the wood. With this color and the ambrosia stains it some of the nicest maple I've ever turned. It is very solid as well. I just hope that it does well drying.
Thanks again,
Jack
