August 22, 20241 yr Popular Post comment_340884 Yesterday I was working on a smaller (5 or 6”) crotch bowl. As I was evening out the inside walls, bang, it exploded and flew across the room. I’m happy to report that I wasn’t hit but it did wake me up The wood had a worm hole that apparently was much larger than I realized. I’ve seen YouTube videos of this happening but it was my first.
