Well, I had a piece of birch log laying around since January or February. Forgot about it for a while and yesterday i thought I'd cut it up for some good wooden plane blanks. Well, i think the pictures are self explanatory. 6 bowl blanks, two big plane blanks and pens blanks and some pieces that might make Christmas ornaments.

Nicely Done! :) :)
Good looking spalt. Ever get sinus or lung problems from turning it? I am very careful after the last couple of bouts.
Post a pic of your bowl when it gets done!
No chris, spalted wood doesnt bother me. Basswood is the worst for me though, makes my sinuses go insane. I gotta get a lathe big enough for bowl turning first, hopefully before the New Year. But Ill post pics for sure.

When it comes time to split my firewood pile, I usually end up with two piles. One for firewood and the other for te lathe. :)
metalspinner, I do the same think, or at least imagine it. :D I still remember burning almost a whole log of curly maple last year :( That was before my lathe though.
