September 4, 20169 yr comment_71907 Lew, I really like those. That maple one is amazing! How long does it take to do something like that? Steve Report

That's a question I should have asked myself before starting this project! The actual wood cutting process is very quick, maybe an hour after laying out the twist. Sanding, on the other hand, many, many hours. Report
September 4, 20169 yr comment_71925 I love the twist . I have done some small ones but not an open twist. Got to try it once. Report

Then use a Forstner bit to drill along the spirals into the center of the cylinder. After all of the drilling is done, it leave the basic shape that needs refining. Thanks for asking. If you need more info, let me know. Report

September 10, 20241 yr Author comment_342135 @jim black I looked through all my old magazines. Couldn't find that issue. I'll keep looking on the web, maybe something similar will pop up. Report
