Popular Post GPscroller Posted January 4, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Haven't posted for awhile but that doesn't mean I haven't been on the saw. Here are some recent ones that I have done. The first two are Jim Blume patterns on birch burl slabs. The last three are H Botas patterns. Warrior is on birch and the other two are black poplar.

He is no longer able to cut like he used to and a mutual friend got us together. He is selling a few at a time and I am currently his number one customer lol Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankEV Posted January 7, 2021 Report Share Posted January 7, 2021 Love your work. The wood slabs are beautiful, but how are you preventing them from splitting. I did wood turning in my real woodworking days ahd tried to do turnings with cross cut wood blocks/logs only to have them split over time even after they had been dried slowly for a long time. Nearly impossible to prevent. I also know that Burl has a lot of internal stress and tends to crack and split due to those stresses. Are you applying a backer and what are you using?

I have never had any split and only one develop small cracks. They have been air dried in an outdoor shed for several years. No backers. Guess I have just been lucky.
