Need to makes some appointments and take care of some other personal business this morning.
Must tell Cheryl about the salad receipt that B wants. Not sure where that is stored.
Turned a beautiful shallow bowl the other day and need to take some pics and post them. Jon walked in last night and said it was ash. I assumed it was white oak since it came off a log I cut- -- but I could be wrong. (Would not be the first time!)
Submitted an article on cheap faceplates to the AAW website yesterday. By using a commercially available steel nut and imbedding it in a construction multi-ply about 2 in thick using epoxy, you can then create many faceplates of different sizes, all of which have the correct size threads for your lathe.

The way to identify oak is to look for the medulary rays. They are very big in oak. In endgrain they can be seen as radial lines. In quarter-sawn stock they show as large 'flakes'. They are hard to describe, but once you have looked for them in a piece of oak you will know what I mean.
