Post by: mullet on November 15, 2017, 06:20:57 pm

Also turned a couple of honey spoons. These are kind of fun to make.

You are cranking out the small projects lately.  Those look good.  What did you seal them with?

Thanks, Clint. They are just oiled up with Butcher Block oil.

Cool, Eddie.  I didn't know you were a turner.

Real nice!  Even small branches can make something useful!  Don't have a lathe to work some of those, may try it by eyeball and finger gauge?

Pat, just bought the Lathe last Saturday so I had something else to do while sitting at home.

Pappy, haven't seen any pictures except for a bottle of Buffalo Trace. Any deer? I got the stitches out last Friday and now can't start Therapy for two more weeks. I'm going hunting or fishing or,,,something. :)

John, I'll be making lots of strikers before our season opens in March, and slate calls.

Stitches out!!?   That sounds like surgery >:D And not on a bow stave :BB!  Hope everything went well, pt is code for pain and torture! Been there, done that! Necessary for recovery, though.  Buffalo Trace sounds like the proper medicine, though, Tullamore DEW, will work, too!  I just scored a bunch of crabapple, be glad to send you some spoon sized pieces to help keep your hands busy while you recover.  Idle hands, >:D >:D tool, and all that!  Get well soon!

yes sir, total knee replacement, Out Patient the same day. I'd love to try any wood I can't get down here. I'll send you a spoon. Last piece of crab apple I saw had some real pretty grain.

Pm me your address and I will get some pieces out to you.  Gout a fair amount of spoon size crabapple, as well as a log about 6 1/2 ft.  Got to study it but I think it has some bow staves in it.  If not, I regained a lot of experience splitting firewood or making rough lumber! :BB )-w(!  All this year, I seem to be visualizing bow and arrows in all the trees and bushes I see!
