What To Do With This Thin Slab? Wood Turning

This started out as a half log. It displayed some wind shake so I decided not to turn it. Here is the link to the original video showing the whole piece. • Avoiding DISASTER or A... I reconsidered and came up with a plan. I'm glad I gave it another chance because I just love the outcome! In spite of my mistake in cutting it, it turned out great and is a real beauty! Finished in shellac.

Hi Phil. After some quick research this is what I found: The Kentucky Coffeetree is a member of the legume family. It creates bean pods, inside of which are hard bean like seeds which when consumed raw are toxic. They can be roasted at 65C (150F) for 3hrs to neutralize the toxic alkaloid. When steeped it produces a dark colored, rich tasting often bitter drink that is 'like' coffee, though it contains no caffeine.

[@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop]

Thanks again for the info! 😊

[@rocioneyra2150]

good choice, Phil.

[@torreysturnings61]

Peanuts and peas are also part of the legume family.

[@spiritwynd]

You had me curious, so I had to check. The Black locust tree is also in the legume family! It also creates bean pods! I sprouted about 30 seeds about a month ago, and all of them came up! They're about 3-4" tall now!

[@jameshasselbrack8412]

Let's say it together boys and girls... "mask and faceshield on!" So much fun!!! Thanks Phil. I hollered for a glue block, I even faced northwest and hollered twice... no response, but the recess worked good too. Always a treat to watched you create...

Beautiful plate. It does qualify as a plate. One surprise is that I keep feeling some of these are ALL my favorite piece! I guess 'my favorite piece' has to become a category. So far there are about 6 of your pieces that share that category together, and I like each one of them as much as the others but differently. Maybe art is just that way. Beautiful plate...or maybe sculpture. 👍

Haha, gotta leave'em guessing, buddy! No big secret and now I hope I can pull it off! Feel like I'm running out of good time but, I'll get it done, I just know it! It is good that this piece worked out, I had my doubts when I walked away from the bandsaw. You should have seen the bend in that blade and then what happened when it cleared the wood! It was so scary I deleted the video, didn't want to see that again! 😊

[@ThePapa1947]

@@PhilAndersonShadyAcresWoodshop I would delete it up as well. Not fun when he a band saw blade decides to cut a vertical radius and not only doesn't ask but it won't even let you choose the radius. But you should it whose boss!

[@ThePapa1947]

Well you hang in there and do what you can do and when you can do it. Yes there can be a lot of adrenaline around a band saw. We had a 36 inch band saw at work that would cut 18" thick. When the blade broke on that one the whole shop would duck under their benches LOL. I never had one break but saw and heard it a few times. Dang that is work talk and I gave that up 10 years ago. But for some reason I had a dream about work last night. Somehow they talked me into coming back....dang that was scary!!!

love that grain. here is some more coffee tree lore: The Kentucky coffeetree is native to the central states of America from Pennsylvania to Nebraska and from Minnesota to Oklahoma. This tree gets its name because early Kentucky settlers noticed the resemblance of its seeds to coffee beans. In earlier times, its wood was used in the construction of railway sleeper cars
