    Help with wood ID please!

    New Bern, NC. I was given several sections of a large limb that I plan on turning. The tree (see photo) looked like black walnut or pecan but the bark on the limb sections don't look like those species to me. The wood itself also doesn't look like black walnut to me (see photo). But I am...

    Free Black Forest Clock - some assembly required

    This Black Forest Clock has been in the family for 3 generations. However a few pieces have broken off (I think that i have all the pieces) and I agreed to work on it as a project...about 15 years ago. It's clear that I am not motivated. So it is free to someone in the NCWW that wants a clock...

    Aged Oak "basket bowl"

    Would appreciate advice from Robust Sweet 16 owners...WTB my first lathe

    I am planning on buying my first lathe and have decided on the Robust Sweet 16 (well...you could talk me out of it, I guess.) I think that most of my turning will be bowls, platters, and "art" as opposed to spindle turning but it's hard to say what direction this hobby will take. I am curious...

    Newbie in New Bern

    Greetings y'all! Although I have been creating a variety of "stuff" all my life, I am new to fine-er woodworking and lathe turning. I'm in the middle of a red oak and sapele table at "Shop Class" in New Bern (a rental workshop). They have a Grizzly G0766 lathe at Shop Class and I've turned a...
