you should be splitting on the pithThanks for that drawing - I think I understand. So the location of the pith really doesn't matter?
Since the "logs" I have are branches the pith is off center, so when I cut at the pith one blank will be larger and make larger bowl. Right?
The comments have been encouraging so I am off to the next step - finding someone whom I can pay to turn bowls. I will start a new thread on this to catch more eyes.
Bob:... finding someone whom I can pay to turn bowls. ....
Sabertooth and Mike Davis,
We have gotten in touch with Chapel Hill Wood Turners and they have agreed to turn our ash limbs into bowls. They are a group of 50 turners who are very nearby and can do the whole lot (up to what we can afford). So we are underway with them.
We really appreciate your offer to turn some of these bowls.
Bob
