I need some advice from bowl turners who round heavy thick wet blocks with their bandsaw. I have an old 14" bandsaw and it is fine for the smaller stuff. What I need is a new bandsaw with a wide deck low enough to reach with heavy wet blanks ( example: 19" square x 9" thick ) I need to be able to reach the deck with these heavy blanks and then have a machine that can round these massive wet blanks for turning; other wise, I feel about beat to death after rounding and preparing these huge pieces for coring after chainsawing them somewhat round. expense is of course a factor, but I expect to pay for a good machine. Just need to hear from a few of you other minor bowl production turners. Thanks
