Anyone Remember This Drying Fad?
While retrieving some red oak to make shoe moldings, I came across this back
on top of the lumber rack. Anyone recall when this fad was current? Seems it came from "down below" originally. http://photobucket.com/albums/d160/G...t=02816bde.jpg Fluorescent light, and victim of slow autofocus, but the idea is what counts. Theory was to restrain the shrinkage across the grain to retain a bigger diameter piece for re-turning. As I recall, it was pretty much a disaster at my house. This piece is really a crap chunk which might have faced a good one across the log, which is why, I suppose it hasn't been finish turned in say, five years? http://groups.google.com/group/rec.c...d 587584e30d6 Turns up the name Soren Berger and a date TEN years ago. Maybe Susan's right and I ought to incinerate some of the stuff I've put farther and farther away. Don't think I'd ever re-turn something like this today. Of course, if the games are a blow-out.... |
