Think he has a lathe large enough to turn that (500 lb) fork? There are e=
asier ways of obtaining a sugar kettle size bowl.
Cypress is not so good for (musical?) instruments. It's too soft, not reso=
nant, as other appropriate woods. Nor is it that good for jointed furnitur=
e. Again, it's too soft of wood for tight/solid, long lasting chair-type =
furniture jointery. It's soft for table tops, also, but lots of tables are=
made with it. It's great for cabinets, though. Lots of kitchen cabinets=
and similar projects are made with sinker cypress. =20
