[crw-talk] Top blank size?

[wziegler at tds.net]

I DO HAVE SOME STRAIT GRAIN MAPLE FROM THE AMISH THAT I SPOKE OF. IT IS A FULL 2' THICK AND I RIP THE PLANKS TO A SQUARE 2'. THEN I CUT THEM ALL AT 4' LONG. THIS IS ENOUGH TO MAKE ANY TOPS THAT I MAKE, LIKE THE GOBE AND PEDISTAL, AND IT WILL MAKE TWO OF THE REGULAR TOPS, PLUS WITH THE LEFT OVER, I MAKE ONE CRADDLE ( I CALL IT ). 
THE BOYS AT THE YARD CHARGED ME $7.75 A FOOT WHICH IS DOUBBLE WHAT THEY HAD BEEN CHARGING. THE REASON THAT I EXPLAIN ALL THIS IS THAT I HAVE THE MATERIAL AND AM WILLING TO CUT THEM ALL TO SIZE, BUT I DO HAVE ABOUT $1.25 PLUS MATERIAL EACH ONE. IT IS NICE STRAIT GRAIN MAPLE. I WILL BRING A BUNCH TO THE NEXT MEET IF ANY BODY WANTS SOME AT $1.50 EACH, THEY WILL BE AVAILABLE. IF NOT, ISTILL HAVE A MARKET FOR MY TOPS SO NO LOSS IN CUTTING THEM TO SIZE.

Depends entirely on the design. And whether it’s two pieces ala Ken Garden or one piece. 



And then there are all the Wendell Ziegler options.

Afternoon,. I am cutting some blanks for turning the tops for Earth Fair. Should I cut them 6 inches to get 3 tops out of a blank or 7 inches or something else. Thanks
