The oil in it isn’t a problem?
Never thought of that.
Can't say I've noticed any issues.
Interesting that you get extra tags. I know if they offered extra tags up here you’d have a lot more people taking it up. Our state has it kind of screwed up because you can only buy one license per year. So if you choose rifle you cannot hunt the other seasons even if you didn’t take a deer. You used to be able to buy a multi season license which was valid for all.
There seems to have been a big change in the attitude toward hunting in NYS when NYC realized that the deer were ruining the property buffers they had purchased all around the NYC reservoirs.
NYC has always been known for good drinking water, and it comes from the upstate reservoirs that stretch about 100 miles North, and include all of the Catskill Mtn region.
While hunting and fishing are generally allowed, there are no motor boats or swimming allowed in NYC reservoirs, and most of the large bodies of water (man made and natural) are part of the NYC system.

We use it for chickens too, and fire starter.
Started a bowl for my wife . Aged cherry going to do one from a black walnut too that’s been slabbed up for 4 years . This is roughed out I’ll finish sand it next week . 
I remember that the Tomahannock reservoir east of Troy banned any recreation. The funny thing was, there was a causeway across the middle of it where people drove cars continually. So you couldn’t swim or even paddle a canoe, but any old polluting car could drive across it. They can’t tell us there’s no pollution leaching off that causeway.
Also legend has it that the former North American record Northern pike that was supposedly taken out of Sacandaga was actually taken illegally out of the Reservoir south of Albany near Greenville.
Slight amount of oil actually might be good for growing things. In 1976 when I was working on an oil spill cleanup in the ST. Lawrence River--it was #6 crude from a barge that ran onto a shoal in heavy fog--at first we were lifting mats of it off the river surface with pitchforks--I had a contractor explain to me that some of what we were picking up would get used as fertilizer. Over the years I found that plants did well on the edge of where oil got spilled.
Roughed out the dough bowl think I need to go deeper 
I like your work but what is a dough bowl.
Beautiful!! Nice work.
Assuming for hand mixing then kneading bread dough.
For sure.
It's easier to mix the ingredients in a bowl and then transfer to the flat surface.
With a lot of sourdough recipes it stays in the bowl for folding (rather than kneading) until it's ready for the final stages.
It’s lost it’s meaning over the centuries. But it was a large elongated bowl to mix and let the bread/ yeast rise
mostly used as a centerpiece for bread or fruit now
The tools I used table saw , jointer. chainsaw, hatchet and the Arbortech roto tool . I love this tool 
this is the Black walnut blank I started with . Still have enough for another project
