Finished turning a vase from some Pear wood. Did not go below 3/16" thick walls due to some cracks that needed a generous application of epoxy. Attached the Jumbo Jaws to turn the bottom tenon and heard some cracking when tightening the jaws.
Any tips on using these jaws or do I need to find some better wood to turn.
This was a log that was being turned into end grain.
