Part 2 of the walnut

[Dalboy]

Well having got the walnut home it was time to rough cut ready for conversion into turning material. So this is where I am at as of today, I would have been further ahead but Saturday I spent the day at our turning club watching a demo by Mark Sanger, then yesterday I was out with the wife having a meal with the family for her 80th birthday.
Well at least today I managed to get to this stage now to complete the conversion after having to sort out the wood store to fit it in as room is very tight. And I still have a 12ft long piece of yew to go and look at where am I going to put that when I get it.
The thickest piece is 4" and the thinnest is 2 1/2". The large pieces in the first photo I can get a 17" bowl out of them they are also 242 long so can get some smaller ones out of it as well. Well worth the two turned wooden pens.

Well been in the storage sheds and started to sort out the one up the garden is done and the walnut is now all in undercover. Just need to look at the other one to see if I can make some room in there for the Yew when I get it on Thursday

Well Thursday came and went but no yew. Not to panic rearrange to go today.
Yet more wood having a great month for collecting. I think I am becoming a wood hoarder.
So I went out today and looked at the yew log I mentioned the other day which is 12foot but only came back with this pile. I can hear you all saying well what happened to the log well that one and a shorter one which is bigger in diameter was just too much for my volvo estate car so the very very kind man said he will deliver those two free of charge.
This is what I brought back 12" steel ruler for scale. Could be some nice pippy yew blanks in the two larger pieces.
