If they are big and heavy you’ll need a good sized lathe. -- Dwight - "Free legal advice available - contact Dewey, Cheetam & Howe""
WasabiJoe home \| projects \| blog 5 posts in 1264 days #2 posted 351 days ago	Thanks, I was thinking of leaving as many as i could square with live edge. Is rounded stock really that much more marketable?
MonteCristo home \| projects \| blog 2061 posts in 360 days #3 posted 350 days ago	People go for nice big bowls. And, if the wood has stresses in it, turning it is a lot safer than trying to make it into boards. If a bowl twists a bit you can often turn it round again or leave it as is. -- Dwight - "Free legal advice available - contact Dewey, Cheetam & Howe""
