Thanks, Lyle. I've definitely been following the pattern of "putting the piece on the lathe to see what happens". I'm looking forward to this series so that I can move in the direction of your approach, planning the piece.
Lyle, I can attest to the planning being the most important part. After watching your series I did one from a Live Oak and it turned out much less heart shaped than I had envisioned. So I watched this video again. Hopefully, my next one will turn out more like I want. Thanks for the great info in all your videos.Billy B.
Timely!! I cut down a tree a month ago which has maybe 30 crotches above the eight foot height and a couple small burls in the main trunk. I've been pondering my (loads of) options with those crotches so this will be especially interesting. Thanks, --Joe
Hi Lyle! Very nice video, very instructive! I bet you are going to get two very nice bowls out of that crotch! Look forward to see the next episode! Cheers! Daniel
+Daniel Vilarino Hi Daniel, I gave the "B" piece to me camera man and he did a very shallow natural edge plate that captured the remaining crotch figure very nicely.
Very well presented, thanks. Is there any reason why you would not turn the whole log instead of cutting it down the center with the chain saw? Montana Wood Art.

Sorry for the tardy reply. Yes I NEVER leave the pith in any of my turnings. It will lead to cracking when it dries. Thanks for writing and watching.
