    Reminder over the lathe!

    I was working to turn a goblet or something to take to my chapter meeting. I noticed what was either a hairline crack or dark grain in a piece of cherry.

  6. Maple with burn

    Maple with burn

    10x3 curly maple with a burned rim. This bowl had a "beal buffing incident" which resulted in a crack. It is best to hold onto the bowls more firmly.
