I caught the tree guys just in time today. They could haul this one one block to my house or a half block the other direction to the truck. Since the bobcat had it in the bucket I convinced them to take it to my place. Guess it helps to know the guys removing the tree. The main trunk was probably 40" diameter and too big for me , but this was one of the limbs off the main trunk about 10' up. This should keep me turning for a couple of weeks anyway.
Turned up another batch from a log cut off the small end of the log. I still have a lot of log left to turn, but it sure turns nice and the wood has some great color and grain. The top left bowl is 14 1/2" X 4" tall.
Did a little more cutting on the big log. Cut off 2 more chunks then slabbed them into bowl blank material. These will make 16" bowl blanks for my lathe, they range from 4"-7" thick so will easily be able to core a bowl or two from each blank. Some of the chunks are closer to 18" so will get some turning blocks off the sides after the blank.
