Too nice to make pens out of..... you need to use it for something BIGGER.

Cliff i know you just want to try out a certain vacuum faceplate that's all : ) The only way that would become a bowl is if you could use a bowl saver to get multiple bowls instead of losing it all in shavings

What cliff said, way too good looking to make pens out of
...although, made into pens rather than bowls would make it more valuble

Hi Peter
What diameter is that log? Didn't you need to paint the end grain of the log before you stored it?
