It’s a #2 phillips, based on the seed pods.
In other news, I stuck all the old sets of the tree find and subsequent handlings (ongoing) into a collection here. I also went through and rotated some that were on their sides, added descriptions to some missing them, and finally made everything public, as I’d forgotten to on several, like these:
That’s from May 4th, and shows significant shrinkage of the euc cup. It had been turned and sanded flush with the lathe drive plate less than 2 months prior, as shown in this shot from March 20th:
I forgot to remove it from the plate, and it sat there for about a month and a half, shrinking. I accidentally created for myself some rather good empirical data on shrinking percentages here.

#2 Phyllips. I’d not seen that one in the text books that I’ve got, but, I found it the “Chiltons Manual” for my 1980 Minivan.

yep, Karson’s ticker is back and working just fine.
Gary, you should write a book. “Everything you ever wanted to know about any living tree and then some” Man, you have more data than wiki But you sure come up with some cool stuff. I’m still thinking about that juniper with the red color. That was really pretty

Karson! Glad you’re back, and I hope you’re feeling alright. Does your minivan smell pretty like eucalyptus?
Gary – Thanks, but I’ve got a long road ahead! One day at a time, I suppose.

Gary,
I tried packing my “wet” turnings in the left over shavings, wrapping them in several layers of newspapers and then sticking the whole thing in a paper bag. It slows down the drying process and reduces some of the warping- it’s not perfect but helps.

Lew – interesting. That’s the second time I’ve heard that this week. There must be something to it.
