being the new guy, I'm curious, what do you do with all those thinner pieces? Do you glue them together and then try to turn them?

No most of that wood is not plug wood to be honest. The thinner stuff can be used for any number of things.

In the top picture , that board looks spalted. Wear a msk when working with it.
Beautiful board and it looks like a nice pile of wood on the rack!

nice plank. Looks like some 5/4 chunks in there that could be saved from the wood stove.

I have made queen ann legs before with a spoke shave and band saw but I bought these tiger maple from tablelegs.com in VT. Huge time savings... I brought one leg with me to the yard in Bristol to match the wood... another trick is to bring a small hand plane with you when you buy rough planed wood to get a better look at the grain pattern
Another excellent source of top quality table legs is osborne wood products.
