Great Bowl Dominic................as always, your work is beautiful and inspiring. I appreciate the explanation and the tips on dealing with the end grain. I have had a few problems such as yours dealing with Walnut End Grain when turning. It never occurred to me to use something to get the end grain to "Stand" so it would cut smoothly. I will have to try that technique on my next Walnut Turning. Thanks for the advice and sharing your work with us. I always enjoy your awesome work!
