Ok need a little direction from the pros here.
I have never rough cut logs for anything other then firewood in the past. I have a few pieces of oak that I want to try and cut into pen blanks. How would I go about doing this?
I know from reading that for bowls I would cut down the middle or through the heart and have two halves then for bowls. But what do I do if I want to cut pen blanks? How do I know which why to cut the grain? Honestly to me, the grain goes everydirection, since its a circle.
Thanks in advance for the help.
