This link picks up where we left off- Andrew purchased a Sorby roughing gouge and gave us a look at what it can do- Check out his post for more of his review- While Andrew was at it, he created a turning blank from some 2 x 4 material. All didn't go as planned. In his post this shows us the results. Our members provided their suggestions and thoughts as to what might have happened- What’s Coming Up- Several virtual events coming down the pike- The AAW presents John Beaver Wave Bowls on February 27.

Check out the Turners Warehouse https://www.turnerswarehouse.com/?fbclid=IwAR03RTwRfgfdKY7oryFIrvdhzOIYvrMdW3b6ctCSyfR1JiGHMdidfXx37qs ONE WEEK ONLY! Everything Else- Rick Turns YouTube video list from last week- Been playing with a piece of cherry from the summer. Rough turned, soaked in soap/water, stored in bag of shavings. Things were going pretty good, in spite of a couple of loose knots and a little tear out. Then I got to the bottom. The through knot splintered and there was a very punky area from a rotting limb. Filled the voids with sanding dust and fine shavings. Used Medium Thick StarBond CA. Still setting up. Probably use sanding to bring everything flat. I'm afraid tools may chip out the filler. Safe turning and stay well
