I tried to manually resaw this with my favorite Irwin 15" coarse-cut carpenter saw a few months ago, but gave up a bit past halfway, completely spent. My arm was too tired to finish, so I just cut in from the side to free the plank, which is still on a box in my living room, drying (i.e. forgotten :).
I was glad to have a chance to come back and clean up the piece, and free the small turning blanks hidden inside it. This log has been on the shop floor all this time,
I actually, physically made this with scissors and a glue stick. For that alone, I'm rather proud of it.
A new stack. The wax sealer - Anchorseal - hasn't turned colors yet, nor dried enough to become translucent/transparent.
A page out of ‘The Collected Works of Billy the Kid’ by Michael Ondaatje, which I worked over.
Influenced by Tom Phillips’ techniques of blocking out irrelevant text.
He re-creates stories within the text, by leaving out selected words.
It's probably not worth it, but I want to work in many different woods to learn about them, so here I am, cutting up these narrow branches, sealing the ends. Maybe they'll turn into something nice on the mini lathe.
I'll end up needing a bigger lathe for pieces like this. I barely have the torque on my Sherline mini lathe for stuff even slightly smaller than this.

I was supposed to write an essay based on the idea of Francis Alys' Guards (2004), but somehow didn't write an essay at all and got very carried away. It went from a critical look at the place of walking in modern art to attempting to dissolve all logical meaning entirely. Initially a snide piss-take, I wrote a ludicrous non-story about the City of London and its inhabitants. After that the form of the essay went out of the window too. A fuller explanation and the complete PDFs can be found goo.gl/WdhlCg.
Printing the original document under the title "London Eats", I wanted it to be double-sided, but it came out on the same side of paper, to expectedly interesting results.
This is about as perfect a cross section as I found. All these limbs appear to be 3 years old, with 3 very large, obvious rings.

The "Cut up" of writing was pioneered by Dadaists and later used by Beat Generation poets. I didn't manipulate individual lines or letters but instead used chunks of text and sewed them back together to turn the written text into something more visual and dissolve meaning even further.
