Wow that's some beautiful work

Thanks skeans Been banging nails for about ten years now... Tbone, that bowl is actualy from a piece of ambrosia maple. If I remember right it came from a crotch in a tree so that would explain all the "firey" patterns on the grain

^^^nope?

It's what we call a block face to make the top and butt hit at the same time as well as having little to no pull out of the log.

Interesting I don't know much about cutting wood for timber. I've cut some timber select cut for ppl I used a humbolt notch a small open face. All the cuts I use are to keep control 90% of the cutting I do is around powerlines water ways houses etc.

I do lots of humboldt faces in different degrees of angle with a snipe off the stump or the butt if I want it to slide off the stump and not leave or to jump off the stump aways. The blocks are used a lot in bigger stuff just because of the control you or if the wood is too large for the bar so you can crawl in and cut.

Are you doing any 250r parts?

No, other than tie rods, as those are kind of universal. The atv retail world just isn't a place for me take make any money other than one off stuff like I did for Higgy.

Very nice, after seeing your work on other quads I think it's mandatory you make some stuff for the R! :chuncky:

Thanx!
I still have my 87 250R that has an LRD motor and I morphed a JP Owtlaw 250R into a CR250F that I custom built with Dave Moore for my then 14 year old son to race. He is now on a KTM 450SX... so the JP is now mine, and since it has 13" of rear wheel travel... it is nice on these old bones!

If you need anything off a 250r or lt500 I'm just across the river.

I work for our local gas&electric utility managing guys out in the field on the gas side. Boring as heck but it is worth it every 2 weeks.
