This weekend I managed to be quite productive but didn't quite manage to finish any projects. That is unless you call bowl blanks finished. I guess they are finished blanks :-)
I got out the chainsaw and started to attack a pile of logs culled from last summers storms. I only managed to get through a smallish Palo Verde and a large piece of Mesquite. Did yield quit a few still greenish blanks but once it gets hot here I would hope they dry out by mid summer to fall. I did also go through my off-cut pile and found some 2-3" thick boards that got turned into blanks while at the bandsaw.
I also went to see a local arborist who was advertising turning wood so went and picked out a few more logs for the pile, some is still green and some is seasoned. as he does seal anything after they are cut the older ones may have too many cracks to yield anything large.
