We are building a 100 seat picnic shelter at a church and we are using 30'+ microlams - we have to cut about 2' off and I decided that I would bring a piece home and cut a block out and see what it would look like if I would turn it - this is what I came up with - That is a piece of the Micro beside of the turning
I applied BLO and four coats of Satin poly - I am going to stain a few to see what they will look like and I have thought about sitting some in some dye to see if it will soak the dye up - What do all of you think - give me some feed back - I can get at least six-seven more pieces of the micro = I think - I do know of four pieces 2' long |

Re: What do you think about this
Very nice. I've never seen any MicroLim that looks that good. I turned some last year and it had voids in it and was the color of plywood. That is really nice looking wood and a great looking stopper. You should try some sort of bowl out of it as well.

Thanks Jack, If I can ever get the right tools and the knowledge I will try a bowl - Do you want me to send you some of this when I send out your kits? Let me know what size you want -

Re: What do you think about this
Following up on this thread as I bet most of you interested in this will get the alert. Someone is giving away some of these beams in Wake Forest:
http://raleigh.craigslist.org/zip/1339798959.html
That will probably go dead pretty quick - move fast! |
