With the amount of wood from that tree, I could make a whole set of bowl's, even a few large ones, a several big cutting boards for when I'm processing deer, n lots of grips for my revolver, maybe make a few gun stocks for my rifle n shotguns, cut a few cookies for use as a clock kind of similar to the picture of the one Lone Wolf posted, but using a cookie instead of a slab due to the unique design in the wood. Maybe carve a twisted spire out of a piece for my garden, n if I get good, maybe carve a full sized 3 dimensional motorcycle out of several chunks glued n pinned together ......... The possibilities are endless. But first I have to learn how to dry the wood so it won't check or crack. Do I remove the bark and fast dry, or slow dry, or leave the bark on and so on.
I do think my face and back cuts have lots of room for improvement. N though I use the conventional cut quite a bit, I am noticing more and more that I am doing the humbolt instead. To me it just seems more natural. Thanks for the compliment on the cut! :msp_biggrin:
