Oops.....Last night, I had a minor "catch", and the Pau Santo bowl went flying!
On inspection, I see a weak spot in the waste block right at the pith.....so, it didn't take much pressure to break at that point. I was bringing it to round after warp during seasoning, and I figure I was a little too aggressive with a round nose scraper when the catch happened.
I guess the best thing to do is chisel the bulk of the old waste block away, reverse mount it and turn away the rest. Then install a new waste block......
