No offence to the Cherry bowl people.
But I recently cut down a couple of Cherry trees for a neighbour and acquired all the pieces for firewood. I had considered getting them milled, but the useable pieces were just over 4' and not overly straight. I suppose I could have gotten some 8" boards out of the larger tree (Doh), but I really had no way to lift it or transport it to the mill. Two guys still can't lift the stump that's left from the larger tree.
Anyway I noticed that the logs from the larger tree have a nice pattern, so I'm wondering what else I could do with some of the logs other than make a shitload of bowls. I don't own a lathe and don't really see myself owning one for a while. Any ideas?
