I love your Knotty picture.

You description of the colour combined with the picture makes me think it is a hit. I hope it become the centre of your brush collection. It sounds and look delightful.

I am pretty excited watching this. Sorry for the set back, but stoked to see it moving ahead.
I am guessing that there are some awesome cast brushes on the horizon. I can't wait to see what comes...

Some part of that will be fine but there are other sections the will need stabilized for turning. I think you are likely going to see the best result from roughing it out a bit and then stabilizing...

In order for me to pass judgement on that burl I think I need to check the rest of it that is still in the shed. I'm having a bit of a time remembering which piece I sent you. Maple or birch or...

I suppose it should help but I can't help but think it that the best long term solution is to plumb the exhaust air back into the building and filter it with the two four foot long hepa filters that...

Dust control is important. I am a little put off by our cold weather, because my dust collector is outside my work shop it takes about three minutes for the inside temperature to drop to match the...

Very interesting and promising.

Richard, I am aware of your vast knowledge and experiences. So when you say possible and probable in the same sentence that is very encouraging. I am trying to stay focused on carving so I am...

I must say this casting is quite intriguing. You could in theory using this reproduce some of the old figured scales. Hmmmm.
