Too Much Green Wood
I had the misfortune of losing a beautiful Oak tree in my hillside. I
also had the good fortune of losing a beautiful Oak tree in my hillside. Woodturners see things this way. I believe that the tree is Hairy Oak. It has a red bark, rays throughout and small oval red dots. My quest is to preserve as much, if not all of it, for turning. I cannot rough turn all this wood in the short time it takes to crack. Does anyone have suggestions for preserving the logs for later use? |

No body of water. Bowls, platters, boxes, etc. No spindles. The logs
have already been cut into roughly 12" to 24" diameter by 12" to 16" high. They are dripping with water. I am aware of Anchorseal. Does it do the trick? Can it purchased in bulk? (5 Gal) |

As well as anything does, yes it does the trick. 5 gallon is the small size, IIRC, and they ship direct (the link has been posted). If you want real bulk (55 gallon drums), they have those, too... Quarts, gallons, 2 gallons, 5 gallons and 55 gallons in blue, red or green colors. You can also get it winterized to prevent freezing. Orders can be placed direct with the manufacturer. The last I checked in the continental US shipping was included in the price. U-C Coating's web site also lists their retail outlets. -- Jack Novak Buffalo, NY - USA (Remove -SPAM- to send email) |
