Hello,
Newbie here. Wanted to posit a question for any suggestions, referrals, or design ideas for the following desire: I collect beach driftwood and the like for a variety of home projects. I recently got into burls, knots and 'character' natural wood pieces - no more that 24" in length, and mostly smaller like hand size. This latter interest reveals very sharp edges to many of the pieces, and I would like to ask if any of the Members know of an artificial way (like a tumbler, was my thought) to soften the broken edges of the wood pieces. Cutting them and trying to sand is tedious and too focally changes the appearance and character of the wood. Looking for a more random application (like the shift of the ocean tides) to render the pieces "edge softened".
Thanks for any replies or recommendations.
