carbide_burnisher.jpgZaffuto burnisher -- two weeks later, repaired142 viewsTruth time. That piece of plum used to make this handle turned out to be a bit less seasoned than I thought -- went away for a weeks vacation, and when I returned it had a 4" x 1/16" crack down down 80% of the handle, propagating from a little knot. Kerfed out the crack with a saw and 3/32" chisel, patched it with a strip of cherry, shaped the patch to match, and I can use it without getting pinched. Charlie Driggs

Galootaclaus-WC-2007-2.jpgTop view of bowl118 viewsWhat is not even close to apparent with this shot is the delicacy of this bowl. Wall thickness is nearly uniform, on the order of 1/16th inch / 2mm. The cracks readily seen, aren't readily recognized as filled with a dark material to enhance the contrast. This was turned from an ash blank, and in doing so, Galootaclaus Walt Cheever demonstrates a skill I don't have and definitely appreciate!! No way this is going in my shop - far too delicate!Charlie Driggs
