Hornbeam logs - what to do next ?
Friend has a felled hornbeam, already in short logs (been down for a
few months). Any advice on what to do with it ? The trunk has already been chopped short, so there's no scope for getting real timber out of it, but I think some should useful for turning. So far I've quartered or halved a few of the logs, depending on diameter, waxed the ends and I'm wondering what to do next. I turned a bit up green to make some handles for mortice chisels (crude, heavy-duty pigstickers) and it was lovely stuff to work with. Easy to turn and a featureless pure white. Thanks -- Smert' spamionam |

Handles and mallets, for sure. Our hop-hornbeam works fine for the same.
Mortars are a good turn, too, with a contrasting pestle. "Andy Dingley" wrote in message ... Friend has a felled hornbeam, already in short logs (been down for a few months).
