has anyone dried whitebeam?
« on: December 24, 2015, 11:02:36 PM »
just wondered if anyone has had any experience drying whitebeam?

i've only had one bit where i made a nest of three and the mother bowl cracked but the others were fine.

does anyone else have any good or bad experiences with this timber.

i take by the lack of responses that no one has turned whitebeam before?

white beam loses weight really fast.

a 14" bowl i roughed out on the 24th has already lost 400grams and it's not in the driest environment...
