Anything to be concerned about when slicing root balls for turning stock? Nothing like pith or anything like that is there? What make a good root ball turning square or am I wasting my time?
Root balls are real PITA to prep, have to power wash the balls at least twice to get rid of the dirt and rocks or else my band mill blade goes to **** after a few cuts. Then there is the challenge of getting the ball set on the mill, so the mill can slice it.
It's some really cool looking stuff, not sure I would call it gain, well maybe because it's wood, but not really because it's roots. Despite how figured it is, I'm real hesitant to sell any of it. Frankly, I don't know what I'm doing with it AT ALL. So any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
