Hello!

So I have come across some blanks I bought last year and forgot about. I am trying to think what to do with them; I'm not a pro! Just happy to nake sawdust although since I bought these - the least sawdust the better. They are the largest blanks I have attempted to turn in my turning 'career'.

If anyone has ideas please let me know.

Thanks in advance.ImageImageImageImageImageImage

That is some strange looking wood. What is it?

The first three are an elm burr and the others are either oak or sweet chestnut burr. They have a wax coating on them which makes them look a bit odd aswell.

At 50cm that bottom one is way larger than I have ever turned. Perhaps a nice platter or clock.

The other bits looks as if they should be turned with some of that bark left on. Something I haver never done and I imagine needs a lot of care.
