Bit of a Twig

[Cowboy _Builder]

Has anyone got a lathe that can handle this twig ? .

WOW CB !! Looks like they welded 2 saw blades together, I would love to know how long it took to saw through that.

Thanks for posting Cowboy _Builder

probably not as long as you think. There was a video clip on a few weeks ago about harvesting Californian redwoods, "back in the day". IIRC they somehow hooked the saws up to tractors, and it cut reasonably quickly.

It'll just about fit on my Myford ML8, but it won't clear the tool rest banjo.

i think that The Borrowers make it seem bigger than it really is.

But Mark, this is a horizontal sideways cut!!!! and have you seen how straight the cut is?

It was planted when God was boy.

there was an article i looked at whilst searching for the video file that i mentioned and that was 893 years old, and vaguely similar in size. Assuming it is a Giant Redwood.

It would make a nice hollowform

It would make nice 2 storey log cabin, just needs hollowing out.
