[RobS.]

Hello,
I tried to join the site some time ago but kept having password problems so I gave up. Problem solved now. I've been piddling with wood most of my 54 years.
I'll be asking some questions mostly in regard to turning bowls on a lathe, something new for me. Most of my wood projects have been carving spoons and bowls with hand tools.
I also have a barn full of rough sawn walnut, cherry, cedar, some oak, pecan and beech. Also have access to a lot of old pine. I need to get rid of most of it!! I'm building my kitchen cabinets with the cherry, but I'm not a cabiet maker, which makes it a real challange. The rest of my wood came as a result of just not being able to watch all that beautiful wood end up in someone's fireplace. I guess it's a sickness!
Anyway, thanks for having me.

Welcome to the site, Robert. Glad you overcame your initial challenges with registration and tried again. If you do have site problems (they are pretty infrequent), don't hesitate to ask for help. I'm not a turner, but I'm sure you'll find many here that have fallen off that dark, slippery slope (I'm a cabinet-type guy, sorry!). I'm sure you'll find takers for your wood stash, too!

Welcome Rob!

You'll find this place is a valuable source of information and encouragement. Just make sure you are aware of the fact that your wood addiction won't get any better :-D

Hi Rob and welcome to the site!!!:eusa_danc:eusa_danc:eusa_danc

Jumping into a kitchen cabinet project sounds like an adventurous task. Especially coming from raw lumber. You will have to post some pictures of your progress. There are quite a few folks here that have done the same thing and I am sure are quite willing to share some of their experiences.

Have fun here and post often!:wsmile:

Welcome!

Best way to sell all that wood is to let us know what ya want for it. We have some serious wood hoarders on this board!!

Welcome to the site. A wealth of info available here and some bad humor to boot. Enjoy.

Oh, I don't like to call it a "problem" - it has been 2 days since my last wood acquisition.:gar-La;

Hi Rob,

Welcome to the club.

I wish I could help you with the wood cluttering up your shop. It seems a bit far for me. There are plenty of Raleigh folks that will snap it up.

I like to make spoons and bowls too, would like to see some of your work.

What kind of lathe do you have?

 

[LeftyTom]

Come in, and close the shop door, Rob. Right nippy this morning.
