Residency requirements

North Carolina Woodworker is aimed primarily at Woodworkers in North Carolina. We will accept automatically users from NC, VA, TN, SC.

All others registrant's accounts will be put into Moderation, once they have verified their email address. Most of these registrants will be declined by our staff. This has nothing to do with you personally.. It has to do with our desire to maintain the local nature of our discussions, functions, etc. However, we do accept non-residents in a few special cases.

  • People who, in the staff's judgment, offer special skills that are not represented in depth with our current membership.
  • People who have a special interest in woodworking in North Carolina and/or work in the state.
  • People who represent manufacturers and/or retail vendors of woodworking tools.
  • Other exceptions may be made as deemed appropriate by the staff of www.ncwoodworker.net

However, registrants that do not meet the automatic registration requirement , MUST provide information as to why they should be considered for non resident membership. This is done by filling in the "Non Resident Join Request" field of the registration application. Remember that a non resident registration is placed into moderation. When the staff reviews these accounts, their attention is placed on the "Non Resident Join Request" field. If it is NOT filled in, the registration will automatically be declined.

Wood This is the place to discuss wood. Species, Properties,etc.

Walnut for the BBQ?
If any of you bowl turners would like some Black Walnut, I have several log pieces that are 8' long or so and anywhere from 4" to 10" or so in size. These are mostly large limbs from two large walnut trees that were cut about a year ago.

I would be glad to cut this into shorter pieces and bring it to the BBQ at Mikes's on the 20th. Or, if some of you are interested in the logs as is where they are at my place, let me know. Some of you bandsaw "re-sawers" might be able to do something with them also.

Does a tree have leaves? Heck yes, there is no bad wood for turning. I take any and all bowl stock I can get

Dave, you are welcome to as much as you want. Just to be sure you understand, these are "logs" with the bark still on. Let me know how you'd like them and I'll bring them along to the BBQ.

I would like them in managable chunks that I can carry on my lap in Tom's truck

Bark on is just fine, green wood turns very well, and Walnut bark can make a nice natural edge bowl.

Thanks!
Dave

I am with Dave on this one. If you could cut up a couple of manageable pieces I would greatly appreciate it

Of course if you sit in the bed of the truck you will have lots of room. I even have wall to wall carpeting in the bed of the truck. For the most space though, you could sit in the front and the walnut could stay in the bed of the truck.

Tom,

I figured that DaveO needed to carry the wood on his lap because the elves and adult beverages would be traveling in the bed.
