Roughing out my largest bowl on the J-line last night and tonight. (Wished I had a bandsaw blade because even with 550 Lbs of cast arn' it still wanted to wiggle around and scare me!) I had to quit last night before I got the outside turned.
Came back tonight and found some cracks in it. Nothing serious yet. I should have waxed but didn't think about it. Tonight I quit to fix me something to eat and since I was not sure if I was going back I was thinking about what to do. Since I don't know where my paste wax is I looked around for inspiration and it came to me!
I backed off the center and I wrapped in plastic bag from the grocery store. I expect that should stop if from drying to quickly and cracking anymore. Well, I hope anyway, will see tomorrow. I hope this works because this one is going to take more than a couple hours to rough it out at the speed I am going!
