This is the method taught in a book I've been studying. Cut the notch and then make the finishing cut off that with the flute straight up. I've done it a couple of times but it's pretty nerve...
You could use me as a model. I'm quite adept at doing them. :-/

Krylon Dual (paint/primer) in Ivory is a spot on match.
Checked that out a few days ago. Web site appears to be inactive. Found one about an hour and 15 away in Lafayette - Acadiana WT. Have contacted their prez and will attend next months. Thanks for the...
Thanks - wish I could say it was completely intentional, but I kept peeling trying to get a smooth inside and there I was. But I think, in the end, it made me concentrate harder on technique and...
Thanks. I'll give them a look-see. No plans on proceeding too far without some instruction. Too nerve wracking waiting on it to explode.
Thanks. Yes, the fact that I let get so thin on me was another concern. I decided to go big or go home. One more trip to the lathe to try a finishing cut. Don't know if it looks better but the inside...
This is my first bowl that has made it this far. The first two blew up when I was trying to finish the inside. It is red elm that I sanded to 400 and polished with EEE. The problem of an uneven...
Yea. I heard the same thing. :(
My thought would also be ebony but I suspect it would cost $150-200
Agreed. The first looks more like a mallet (albeit a nice looking mallet). The second is obviously a gavel. Is that walnut and curly maple?
WoopWoop!!! 👍👏
Didn't do a thing. Cut them last August from a pile of storm debris. They had been on the ground/in the pile (almost like a huge compost pile) for about 6 weeks. Took them home, cut them to the sizes...
Thanks. That's pretty much what I've decided to do. Check one every 6-8 weeks and see. Roger on protection. If I'm in the shop working, I have my mask and safety glasses on. Even if I'm just...
Thanks. Will check it out.
I have lots of family that like stuff.
I don't have anything else to do and have a pretty big shop. Plenty of room to stack roughed out blanks until I get to them. Although I may well let a couple...
Thanks. Guess I have my work lined out for the next couple of weeks. Probably have 20 more just like those.
Thanks. Gamble as in potential rotting?
May I correctly assume that my effort to induce spalting in this sycamore I cut last summer was (is) successful? I've seen pics but never the real thing -- at least to know what I was looking at. How...
Hmpf. Guess you have a point. Didn't think of them in terms of being collectible
Very nice. I particularly like the next to last one. Very bold.
Very nice. I like that idea. After all is said and done, I believe I'm gonna turn them into hoop ear rings. Very quick to make and will probably make stocking stuffers out of them. Maybe a little...
I thought about ear rings but they would have to be hoops as the plugs have a 1/4" hole from the hole saw guide bit. Would be fairly easy to forstner them to a bigger hole and roll them into hoops. I...
