Hello, just joined AAW, look forward to meeting you all and reading your tips and advice. I have been turning for a couple years now, I have gotten really good at what little I do, I turn small stuff now, now sweat.
I am wanting to turn a vessel shaped piece, the OD will be 3 1/2" the total length will be 8", I wanna bore a 2 1/2" 7" deep. I have turned it to size and bored it with a 2 1/2" forstner from woodcraft, not exactly the best brand at all, had quite a bit of trouble with this method and am thinking there has got to be a better way of achieving this. I will be spinning walnut, cherry, or maple, mostly end grain.
I would really appreciate anyone's insight into this, thank you ahead of time.
