How long do you need it? Firewood is a great source of inexpensive hardwood. But if you need it longer, you’ll have to get it before it is cut short, and it will probably be green.

Re: Rustic cherry bowl
RFGuy, that page you linked is exactly where I learned what I was doing wrong with the bowl gouge. There's a video embedded in the article that clearly demonstrates the correct tool presentation. Suffice it to say that mine was not even close!

Re: Rustic cherry bowl
Dennis, Beautiful work! Thanks for reminding us of what can be created on Shopsmith equipment. I still haven't gotten up the nerve to try a bowl that large yet as I continue to hover around the 8" diameter range until my skills improve more. Also found the branding iron suggestion really usefu...

Re: Rustic cherry bowl
Aha! I wondered why no one had mentioned the dog face. I guess you just had to know old Tucker in order to see him in the bowl.

Re: Rustic cherry bowl
Yup. With a Shopsmith, you can fixture just about anything, to anything else. And if you can’t, you can use it to make the necessary fixture!chapmanruss wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 12:55 pm Another example of how the Shopsmith can be used in less common ways to solve a problem in completing a task.

Re: Glue-joining of Cutoff Pieces for Lumber Recovery
I'm curious, David. Did the glue in the finger joint fail, or did the fingers break off? It seems to me that the weak points would be at the ends of the fingers. Because the fingers don't taper to a sharp point, there's a fairly large percentage of the wood that's basically just in a butt-joint conf...
