One question for you though, how many segments in the 2 center rings in between the holly, it looks like double the # of segments and well done!

Thanks Jameel, not only for the support to SMC but also for letting us know that there may be some hope for organizing SOME of our tools.

Count me in on this one,.... if I win I need to search...

That looks great Curt,
You kind of shook me there with taking your hat off, just how many segments did you do in a ring?, I was glad to see the dimensions, at first I thought it was one of the...

Alex,
What is the length of the piece? I have bent some pieces of wood I used as a veneer on table edges about 3/16 thickness but I used a homemade steamer before bending but the radius was much...

James,

I am not an expert by any means when it comes to using a router but I mostly like using the fence (right or wrong) and make a couple passes rather than hogging the bit and experiencing...

Bonnie,

Bernie inspired me also, I went out to the shop and found a 4 3/4" square of Cherry, thats a little under his suggested size but I gave it some consideration to cut it but it was too cold...

Julie,
As said by others on this forum, the Beal is not a tradeoff for sanding,
as to how far you go is up to you, like how picky are you! If you are selling then be picky, 400 will give a nice...

Curt, did you rough turn that silver maple before trying to :eek: SPALT it??

Great looking bowls spalted or not, but not great enough for me to move to Utah as a neighbor to get one:)

Julie, I don't have the buffs for the inside of bowls yet but did get the Beal system directly from them and am very much pleased with it.

:DThe reason I didn't get the bowl buffs is I needed an...
