Wood Turning a Birch Vase
Stumped, but enjoying it.
| I had to cut some limbs and standing dead wood for my folks at their cottage so I brought back some of it. Some will be relegated to fire wood because of splits and the like, but a lot I can turn. |
|
| This white birch stump piece looks like it should have some spalting and is fairly dry although it is freahly cut. |
|
| Typical of stump wood there is a nice flair to the side and there should be some nice grain, even on this young a tree. |

|
| I cut off a piece about 12" long and mounted it between centers. |
|
| There is quite a slant to the spur end as I try to get a more or less straight run to the tail stock. |
