What a good find last week. The local golf course logged their acreage and left tons of huge cherry stumps and tops. I went in and had a field day cutting large 20 in. slabs and crotches for bowls. The grain was beautiful BUT while carrying them jout of the wood, I strained my back and I find mysel laying flat for the next few days. I have had back trouble before and didn't realize how heavy the block were until I couldn't get out of bed the next day.
I rough turned a few of the massive chunks and they look terrific but my poor back just won't hold up for turning many of them . I sealed the blanks, put them in a huge paper bag and hope they stay solid until I can get back to them.
I guess you take the good with the bad.
