A BIG THANK YOU!

I hope you don’t mind my showing all of these old projects, but it’s hard to resist posting on this

great site. I’ve tried to be easy on you by not posting too many at one time.

Matt! This northern MN White pine is great wood to work with. It doesn’t have as much sap in it
like the southern grown pine. It was once the dominant tree in this area until the big lumber barons raped this whole area, back in the early 1900s. They would cut everything, & burn all that was left.
This tree was planted by the CCCs (Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s.
The White pines have been plagued by a disease called blister rust. The state has been doing research to grow a rust resistant tree, & have succeeded somewhat, so they are trying to re-establish new growth.

Nice bit of turning, especially on Pine (a difficult wood to turn at the best of times). I really like the grain shown in the main opening photograph as well as the form.

Thank you Tony,
This Pine was not difficult to turn.
I guess sharp tools help.

Very nice, The white pine makes a beautiful bowl and you did a very nice job…. I just picked up two limbs from a “live oak tree” here in Florida that was also struck by lightening and wind. I’ve finished one(carved) walking stick and started on the other. This live oak has been partially eaten be worms and bugs. This makes it very interesting. If I ever learn how to put pictures on this site I’d like to show everyone. Hopefully soon.
