I got this from a job site where a tree service came in and done some trimming for the home owner and also cut this one down - This came from the top of the trunk where the limbs started to branch out - The trunk had a big hole up the middle - Tell me what you think -

Re: Is this Maple worth trying.....
Turning wood can be counter intuitive in the ugly duckling sort of way. Some of the prettiest work comes from nasty looking (to most people) logs. Whenever Jack starts a post with "I wasn't sure I coud save this" or "I thought this might be too far gone", it's usually stunning, though Jack doing the turning has a lot to do with that. Anyway, it is certainly worth trying, IMO.

Yea, I was thinking about Jack when I seen the trunk cut - I said " I wish Jack was here so that he could make something out of this mess"

Re: Is this Maple worth trying.....
I wanted to tell you no, but I got to look at myself in the mirror when I shave...
Its wood, it was free, and you got it now -
that's about the trifecta of wood turning!
