Where does everyone find these nice large pieces of wood to put on your
lathe? In Denver, it seems we are limited to what little woodcraft or
rocklers has on hand. All of these are generally 6x6x3 or maybe if lucky
8x8x3.

Most of us own chainsaws and bandsaws, you'll need one of each, at the
least. Arborists and county trimming crews are good sources of wood, so
is th eside of the road after a snow, wind, or ice storm. If you had a
chainsaw, you could drive around in your truck, you do have a truck,
right, and offer to take down the limbs that look like they're about to
go. You shouldn't be paying for wood in CO. Get some anchorseal or
endgrain sealer (Woodcraft) and use it diligently. Also do a Google
search on LDD in this NG. Get a saw you like, 'cause you're gonna need
it.
