Reddog's Request

Burlkraft · January 11, 2010, 09:21:35 AM

Jill got right on your question about turning some of that elm.

If it don't warp and crack it's gonna be a beauteeeeee 8) 8) 8)

Reddog · January 11, 2010, 09:33:05 AM

Wow 8)

Well even if it does warp and crack, that is just part of the character of the piece. ;)
Can't wait to see how it finishes.

SwampDonkey · January 12, 2010, 06:14:07 AM

Epoxy the sucker and she won't move. ;D I like turning elm, but I always turned mine with the end grain on the chuck. I got a crack in one I turned, that was from dropping it before I got the epoxy on. :

Burlkraft · January 15, 2010, 09:15:51 AM

Jill has been busy at work and hasn't had too much time to turn. She did get down there last night.

Here's what it looks like now......

Nice Lookin' Elm...Eh?

jim king · January 15, 2010, 09:28:20 AM

Wood turners should start self help groups for those flat board guys to teach them that spalt, knots, twisted grain and all those defects are great.

That is a beautifl bowl.

Reddog · January 15, 2010, 09:29:08 AM

Wow, nice too see this log had more than firewood in it.

Warbird · January 15, 2010, 11:23:05 AM

WOW!

That is one of the more beautiful bowls I've ever seen. Nicely done. What is it coated with in the pictures to make it all shiny like that?

fishpharmer · January 15, 2010, 11:29:33 AM

Okay, that's it. I am gonna have to get a lathe someday. Incredible looking bowl. Now I'm looking a little differently at some old logs laying around .

Dan_Shade · January 15, 2010, 12:04:57 PM

I have a lathe, and I still think it's firewood :D

Warbird · January 15, 2010, 01:02:45 PM

Why on earth would you think of your lathe as firewood? ??? ;)

SwampDonkey · January 15, 2010, 01:05:31 PM

Looking good burlkrafters. ;D

Lud · January 15, 2010, 05:24:51 PM

That's real strong contrast. Looks great!

Dave Shepard · January 15, 2010, 05:53:20 PM

The things people will do to get out of spitting a little elm. :

:D Very nice.

pasbuild · January 15, 2010, 06:53:09 PM

I see ya couldn't get Reddog ta give up the good wood, he gave me a trailer load of dat rotten old wood too :

Lookin good Jill

Reddog · January 15, 2010, 07:01:34 PM

Ya and I had to deliver yours too. ;D
And then you yell at me when I stuck it with the peavey. :-[
The good wood goes in da stove! ;)

tyb525 · January 15, 2010, 07:08:48 PM

Don_Papenburg · January 15, 2010, 08:54:32 PM

DanG , Dadgumit Beenthere , Now Linda wants me to clean up the old oaktree that fell last year.

WDH · January 15, 2010, 09:09:41 PM

Jill, that bowl is simply incredible 8).

BcWoodWorks · January 20, 2010, 03:48:33 PM

Gosh dude; Jill is wicked with a Lathe. I never knew dat. ???

I'm not sure if I should say good work, Jill....Or you owe me about 60 Lathe lessons Steve.

When in doubt, I usually choose both. Awesome work to da lady. :D

Burlkraft · January 25, 2010, 06:39:26 PM

The bowl is done. Jill's been oiling it for 2 days.

Here's some pics........

Rumor has it that this bowl is going to be full of peenuts at the pig roast and then sum lucky sumbuddy is gonna go home with it! 8) 8) 8)

Reddog · January 25, 2010, 07:00:18 PM

Well that turned out Nice 8)

SwampDonkey · January 25, 2010, 07:01:28 PM

That sure is an interesting bowl. I bet that elm really soaks up the oil. ;D I see a signature on there don't I?

I can taste them peanuts myself. ;)

Where do I send my particulars for the draw? ;D

Burlkraft · January 25, 2010, 07:54:32 PM

I never said anything about a draw ;D

Jeff · January 25, 2010, 07:59:10 PM

That Bowl is flat out awesome.

Warbird · January 25, 2010, 08:58:51 PM

Absolutely amazing. My compliments to the turner!

Mooseherder · January 25, 2010, 09:12:08 PM

That thing is beautiful. 8)

Bro. Noble · January 25, 2010, 09:35:42 PM

Well, I'm not very artistic and therefore am not able to appreciate some stuff as well as those of you that are more gifted. I have a hard time understanding how people can be so crazy about wood that is begining to rot. Elm is about my least favorite of woods. But, even I can recognize that that is a beautiful work of art that the craftsman and owner should take great pride in 8) 8)

WDH · January 25, 2010, 10:29:20 PM

If I fill that bowl with Georgia peanuts, maybe that will give me an edge. Oh wait, I forgot. Pigman and Pasbuild will probably be there and they always win everything. Shoot.......foiled again

.

pigman · January 25, 2010, 11:14:39 PM

There will be 152 peanuts in that beautiful bowl. ;)

pasbuild · January 26, 2010, 04:33:38 AM

Could I get the dementions of that bowl please ;D ;D :D

Going the guess the peanut count. :D

pasbuild · January 26, 2010, 02:41:20 PM

Just like to get a head start on the math ;D ;D

Patty · January 26, 2010, 05:57:55 PM

Jill's bowl is just beautiful!

Just exactly what do I have to do to insure that I win it? ???

Burlkraft · January 26, 2010, 11:17:49 PM

First ya have ta show up!!! ;D ;D

Warbird · January 27, 2010, 11:03:22 AM

I so wish I could be there. And not just to try and win that beautiful bowl. My travel fund will likely have to be used to get us to my BIL's wedding in Sept, tho. :( I mean, we're happy for him but I really wanted to make the pig roast this year and finally meet all of you guys.

:D You could always sell a kid or two; I hear the pig roasts are worth it. Just turning of age to go myself.

Don't get the wrong idea on what the pigroast is or all about. You don't need to be 21 to attend. The Forestry Forum Pigroasts are Family events, so selling kids to come would not be an option as the kids are more then welcome and encouraged to come, and those that have come always have a very good time and look forward to coming back.

BcWoodWorks · January 27, 2010, 01:34:24 PM

Gotcha, Jeff. ;)

I always just figured it'd be nice to have a few cold ones during the course of the roast. ;D I've still got some woodwork with pig roast stuff all over it from 1996. Could have been a different pig roast tho. *shrug*

I was...what, 7 then? ;D

Better watch what you say there BC. There was more than one day I was ready to wrap you up and send you to the sale barn ;D ;D ;)

Coon · January 28, 2010, 02:11:44 AM

What are we gonna start the bidding at ??? I give you 5 dollar... :D :D

FIVE DOLLERS

Jills goin ta be lookin ta give ya thumpin i'm thinkin

Payton34 · January 29, 2010, 01:52:55 PM

Frau Burlkraft, checking in. I requested Burlkraft send a big THANK YOU to everyone for all the nice compliments and comments during my recent turning adventures. ;D ;D.
He suggested I get my own account so I could do it myself. Bear with me as I don't know what I am doing-never been on a forum before. So...many, many thanks for all of the encouragement and admiration I received during my turning. I have a lot of fun and it has taken a long time, but I am improving. I think I turned the corner when I wasn't afraid of the wood or the lathe anymore. Anyway, it has been great getting to know you all and once I figure out a bit about the forum, I won't be "afraid" of posting anymore, either!!! A special thanks to Reddog for the gorgeous elm...the bowl would be nothing without special wood.

Norm · January 29, 2010, 02:04:20 PM

You know Jill I was thinking about getting Steve over here for some turning lessons but after seeing your handiwork I know who the real talent is.

Welcome to the posting side of FF, glad you joined up.

Welcome to the forum Jill.
Now we have to be careful or we will get Steve in trouble? ;D

Patty · January 29, 2010, 04:34:45 PM

Jill!

Welcome to the forum.

We need more women on here. ;) Roxie, Joan (Sprucebunny) & I have our hands full keeping these guys in line.

Nope, he don't need our help with dat one pal. ;D

Steve - The only thing we had in the barn was a tractor that really didn't run, and a bunch of birds. I suspect you may be talking about someone else's boy; i had nothing but good grades and straight up behavior. :D if you are insinuating otherwise, maybe you should go to the barn! ;)

Jill! Welcome to the Forum! Good to see you joined up, I was wondering how long it would take. Hope you'll have as many laughs as I have had here, good peoples.

He taught me everything I know, so you'd be better off starting with him. Thanks for the vote of confidence, tho!

See you at the Pig roast ???
