October 13, 20205 yr Popular Post After that fiasco of cracking my myrtle wood bowl I turned out my maple bowl and it came out quite nice. I left the walls just a bit thicker seemed to hold up quite nicely. In the short run of things this ones almost done.

Tried every tool in my arsenal on one place- carbide (new cutter) and hss (freshly sharpened) and sandpaper. Looked pretty good until the oil went on.
