Here's a little pic of the Veneer I was waiting for this weekend

[Bill Wyko]

I didn't have a project for this but it was so beautiful I had to have them. (24 sheets) Burlwood Walnut. If any of you ever need veneers like this check out www.veneersupplies.com Joe it the best when it comes to veneers. BTW the pic doesn't do it justice. I can't wait to see this with a finish on it.

Some people are addicted to drugs. I'm addicted to exotic woods. :-\ ;D

That is awsome Bill.  I bet that set you back a bit $$$.

Actually Veneer supplies is pretty reasonable. Check out the site and look around at his stuff. If you look through his choices you can come across some real deals. This should last through quite a few projects. The pic makes it look bigger than it is. The sheets are about 14"X14" of usable material. Check out lot 5315 & 5325. I think their the other part of this lot. It's like wood porn ;D

So, how to you put that veneer around a bowl?  You figure that one out, and I'll start turning!

Charles, I have some big beautiful burl blocks drying as we speak. It kind of makes me ill to turn away all the extra burl on the lathe.

Hmmm.

Have someone rotate the lathe by hand while you hold a portable bandsaw
up to the stock. But, don't tell Steve Jones (or anyone else, especially your wife)
that I suggested it.  ;D

I'll have to get back to you on that idea ??? I still have all 10 and plan on keeping them ;D
