I have had a Box Elder tree trunk on the ground for over a year now. Just one of those things you always mean to get around to, and don't. So today I fired up the chainsaw and took a few passes through two of the chunks. It's amazing how wet this wood still is, after losing all of its leaves a couple of years ago, me finally cutting it down and it laying there all this time.
After I get the slabs cut off the logs, I go to the bandsaw and make them as round as possible, then onto the lathe.
This will not be a bowl for use in the kitchen. It has some nice
spalting and will be a decorative piece for maybe an electric candle and
potpourri.
