When you split something like that, does the split follow the grain nicely or dies it run off some?

[turtle]

I have never split one as wild as that one but but it did have some run off to it. But not real bad.

I reduced limb thickness to where limbs are just starting to bend. I will get them bending more before i start on heat corrections. Still have several issues to keep an eye on.

I remember watching him work on this stave for half an hour.  He got about 8 linear inches of a ring chased before we had to drag him out from under Pappy's work bench where he was giggling and drooling on himself.

Only thing i remember JW was when you snatched the draw knife away from me so you could have a go at it yourself

[JW_Halverson]

Yeah, and then I took your place under that self same bench for a session of giggling and drooling!

I believe this is the stave that cured me of my fascination with "character" wood.

My therapist assures me I am recovering.

[Knoll]

Therapists are often overly optimistic.
