' I know a fellow who works all summer as a logger .... whenever he comes across a mis-shape or a burl he sections it off and in the winter puts them on a small hobby-lathe and carves out bowls .... says he sometimes makes more money selling them than he does summer logging. .

. DarDow101 .... is that artwork ??? .... (I love it) ..... or a "time machine concept" ... built from old computer components ?? . If it is an actual "Quantum Computer" I am lost ... (I know very little about computers) .... whatever the case I admire your intricate and detailed assembly...

Completely unrelated to WaspAir's metal blades .... but because I came across a picture of the earlier Bell47 - Hiller12 type wood blade I wanted to post it somewhere .... front is laminated birch and spruce , rear is balsa , not shown is fiberglass skin and leading edge metal protector. They...
