A couple enclosed reeds
« on: January 15, 2015, 06:45:03 PM »
Crosscut Osage and figured maple.  Simple shapes.  Easy to run.  Gotta love enclosed reeds.

In life or anything worth partaking, if you have stopped trying to improve you have quit.

Your work on and around your lanyard groove on that hedge looks absolutely perfect. A very nice yet simple/cassic turn.
Pass on the tradition. A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

Thank you fellas.  I used a thin parting tool to cut the lanyard groove.  I also used the thin parting tool like a beading tool to clean up the edges.  Sanding was a breeze with the crosscut.  Because it's mostly end grain.  I did not have to worry much about going back and sanding with the grain on each grit.  I turned and roughed it with a 3/8 elsworth ground bowl gouge.  The roughing gouge wanted to chip.  The bowl gouge allowed me to start cutting into the long grain lengthwise.  It gave much better support in the cuts and turned out much better cuts with minimal tear out.  I won't lie.  There was some tear out but.  It went away quick with 180 grit.
