A Fallen walnut tree that was dead and full of termites. As I cut up the limbs I thought to myself what an interesting piece of wood to turn on the lathe. I wonder what that would look like if I can manage to Complete the project. As I was beginning to remove the bark and outer layer of wood, I was very concerned that the integrity of the Wood Was so bad that I would not be able to complete it. I was very happy to see as I near the end of my shaping and it was still intact. So I turned it around and began Hollowing and hoping for the best. To ensure the termites were dead and gone after I got it rough shape. I put it in a plastic bag took it home and placed it in the freezer until it was frozen solid. And then let it start and unfreeze him completed the turning. I have not found any issues with this process of freezing to kill the termites. No chemicals are needed and they are always sufficiently dead. I do appreciate you watching my videos, I hope you like this one.
