Amazing work.

Read down, there is reference to a "chemical solution" he soaks the
wood in, to provide stability.

Any idea what it is?

Surely not LDD?

I don't know if it is true or not but...

I've heard that the finishs on older pieces which have been treated with PEG are beginning to
fail.

Didn't I learn of Ed's demise recently? His turnings were indeed huge. And
beautiful.

Yep, Ed was the guru of PEG 1000. Ever see the tools he used? I liked "the
lance."

Problem of PEG is that nothing sticks to it, and it continues to flow and
work under whatever is temporarily occupying the surface of the piece. I
believe his son has gone from oils to water-based finishes.

i seem to remember several years ago an article about internal break
down/rot of pieces. something to do with the PEG not being able to
penetrate far enough into the structure. presumably, pieces with
thinner walls would not have this problem.

Hi Bill, Finishes on PEG stabilized pieces can't be failing now because
they never were.

Whoever got us into using PEG ought to be strung up. What a mess.
The jury is still out on LDD's future.

it IS big and impressive, but someone ought to mention to him the
difference between "Tulipwood" and "Tulip Poplar"

Et tu, Archus! Converts and supplicants continue to pour in. One doesn't
hear much due the scorn and castigation heaped upon their heads. LDDers are
like the early Christians having to practice underground for fear of the
"lions" roaring aboveground. We shall overcome! *G*

While a good point, it is academic now, as Ed Moulthorp
died earlier this year. Perhaps his estate would be interested
though.

Regardles if he used PEG or didn't know the difference between tulipwood
and tulip poplar, you have to give him credit for his work. It takes
guts to turn pieces of that size free hand on a lathe and skill to
finish them the way he has.
