Re: woodturning
Got any Ash lying around?
about 3 ft?
Fancy knocking me up a Burda?
Sans iron bands.
The Burda Club is wedge-shaped, widening near the tip, with an oval cross-section. Two feet long and weighing around six pounds, it was constructed from ash, which was then fire-hardened and sealed in beeswax.

Pyro, that is wonderful clock, I'm sure gift was well accepted
I think that you have learned really well that finishing of wood, your finish looks like it came from factory, so smooth and clear, kind of amazes me

Its for bonking dogs and ruffians upon the nose if they become overly confident.

If I'd known earlier in the yr could've helped.
Ash is the top firewood so I'm afraid any potential Burda will quite literally go up in smoke.

Re: woodturning
Thing is I've probably got summit suitable but it's been drying for a yr so has cracked extensively.
Do you need fresh to turn and then varnish/treat??????
If so remind me nearer Christmas I'll sort it.

Re: woodturning
cracking can be an issue, proper seasoned wood is best for turning, but (apparently) its different to seasoning for firewood
the wood needs to be coated in a wax on the end grain to slow the drying process to stop cracks forming...
