If I were you, I'd send it to someone that you know that lives in Indiana.
But hey, thats just me.
Sure thing Doug, shipping will be $2789, PayPal me the cash, and I'll send it
Bill, thanks, I have that part figured out, but those are good drawings
The lower half of it, I'll just cut and make normal blanks from, should be some good sized bowls.
This wood is Keyaki, which is a kind of Elm, from my own experiances
and from talking to some of the Japanese guys in my local club, you turn this to final dimensions wet, then let it dry and then finish it. Once dry this stuff makes concrete seem soft, and I'm not kidding
I'll just end up hacking it apart some how, but I was wondering if there is some way to slice up a crotch in a piece of wood like this, that would yield better results.......
Cheers!
