Good Evening Ladies and Gentlemen
I have roughed turned these large wet chunks of Jacarandah. I rough them down to allow them to dry quicker and also, they take up less room in storage. Good fun turning wet timber, feel like a professional turner, shavings flying everywhere. The largest of the logs is probably 15 Kgs
These will eventually be turned down to a tapered cone, they are used by a friend who is a commercial diver. They smack them into the ends of pipes etc to seal them. Anyone who is ex Navy would know them as DC plugs. They need to be a soft wood, as they expand when wet and don't damage the pipes. Some of the biggest plugs I have turned have been 28cm across, tapering down to 14 and 30cm long. I get paid in BEER!!!!!!!! :2tsup:
Not as big as some peole get to turn, but certainly larger than pens
Sincerely
Willy
