Greetings all.

I haven’t posted many pix (yet) this year on wood working projects, other than the Ships Galley Cabinet. Anyhow, I just wanted to share a pix of a little Cherry Bowl that wifey & I just finished up this week.

Definitely going to get a ShopSmith. It is exactly what I need. I have one financial commitment to satisfy and then I will purchase. If it wasn't for the 3 day fishing trip to the Dry Tortugas in April. I would purchase now.

Hey Ray, it’s always good to check on Craig’s List as well. For various reasons, ppl often put these up for sale. You might be able to get a good deal with lots of extras thrown in.

For example ➡️ https://easternshore.craigslist.org/tls/d/westover-shop-smith-saw/7242684437.html

ok, I have to ask. “Unfinished trees” ? Must be a Texas thing! ?
I probably am not explaining or saying it right. But it was 3 individual trees that had been cut out of wood, the largest maybe 6” tall. Simple 3D cones, each graduating in size. That’s it.. no extra details, no varnish or stain.. still, I’d put them out for display:)

Just natural maple and oak from the listings and in a cone shape to be precise so a far amount of lathe work

Thanks, I cant wait! My 4 son's and I will spend 3 days and 2 nights on the boat fishing our brains out.?
The boat is 48' long with a 22' beam. The hull is a catamaran style. So there will be plenty of room. Each bed is the size of a queen bed. But hopefully I won't need the bed to much. I want to fish as much as I can. ?
