Thanks for your comment. Many years ago...Hi Saaara,<br />Thanks for your comment. Many years ago I was turning a mahogany block into a bowl when all of a sudden it exploded in a million pieces and my turning chisel flew right past my face. It had a huge rotten area inside of it that couldn't be seen from the outside of the blank. Sometimes the tree can grow around a defect or branch and years later when someone mounts it on the their lathe, well, they're in for a big surprise if they try to turn it. <br />I just went out to the wood shop to check on the bowl and the cracks have gotten smaller so I'm hopeful that they'll either shrink away or I'll be able to cut them away as I shape the bowl. Come back tomorrow as I am going to do a lot more shaping on the bowl and we'll see how it comes out. Best Always, Vickie Vickie Woodcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08956350116473854207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1339477303224811111.post-37006774763472019532013-03-07T11:27:40.411-08:002013-03-07T11:27:40.411-08:00Thanks again!

I always somehow find a branch at all of my turning projects... :/ Saaarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863201215906149502noreply@blogger.com
