I have a 3 foot long and a 5 foot long piece of cherry log that I didn't scrap when I was trimming a fence row. My total experience with bowl turning is one 9 inch diameter simple bowl of willow.
What might one make from the subject logs? I cut them about 4 years ago. I painted the ends of the larger immediately, but not the other one. There is checking on that shorter one, but not too bad. I'll saw into it when it thaws.
