Subgroups? Mature tight pine....what to DO.

I've got a couple of old pine beams - 5 and fighvaighths square - and
I'd like to make some fucntional art out of them. My initial thought
was to sculpt some icicles but now I'm game for a simple ashtray or
something.

This ng is way busy. Are there any subgroups or other forums that
cater to a smaller crowd?

Thanks, I found that yesterday after a long trudge through links from an
initial google search. It would be nice if there were a link to it on
the rec.woodworking faq.

Indeed - but at least you have the right newsreader, just be brutal in

Yes try alt.woodworking.waistsize<36inches or
alt.woodworking.fivefootfive Much less traffic on them, especially the
first one. They kicked my ass out after only one post.

Many years ago I ran what might have been the last poll about if this
group should split. It failed. But people being people, well, the
turners formed r.c.woodturning and the Neader's formed an e-mail list,
and....
I started out neutral on the subject and ended up in favor. If we had
done an intelligent split then, of well.
