A little help with the alcohol bath
GREAT POST! (article) something like this belongs in wood turning design!
..but (and there always is one) I tried to find more information on the alcohol bath and searched for dave smith and alcohol and found nothing!
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Hank Merkle

5th Pic - Here's the freshly turned bowl blank now setting in it's 24 hour home of an alky bath (
Developed by Dave Smith). Notice that it's not fresh alky. Black Walnut and other dark woods will turn the Alky dark like that....so I call it my Alky Tea.
6th Pic - Here's the bowl getting ready to come out of the alky bath at about 24 hours later. Don't pay any attention to the color of the outside of the wood. It all turns away when finish turning the bowl.
