It was a 1/4 in bit .I used the bushings to set a stop. I used extremely light passes to sneak up on the stop . I have been thinking I should have used epoxy instead of CA glue . The palm is very fibrous and stringy , more like a grass. That half you see is the only one of four pieces that made it. On the plus side it sands and polished very easy. I'll try to load a better picture from home , I'm having a hard time doing it from this phone. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Did you use a template for your shape and the tapers. Did you take light cuts from the side and what size bit did you use; 1/4", 1/8"?

The palm kept blowing out on the lathe , finally got that half done with a downward spiral compression bit on the mill. The burl was a leftover from an another messup.

It's hard to tell in the photo. The cap looks like different wood, is that right? -Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "cole andrews" <[email protected]> To: "Legacy group" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, December 27, 2010 9:06 PM Subject: Fwd: IMG00465-20101227-2343.jpg > I made this experimenting on the mill after blowouts on the lathe. > The peice on the left is something called > > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > From: Cole Andrews <[email protected]> > Date: Mon, Dec 27, 2010 at 11:44 PM > Subject: IMG00465-20101227-2343.jpg > To: cole andrews <[email protected]> > > > > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected]. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected]. > For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/legacy-ornamental-mills?hl=en. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Legacy Ornamental Mills" group.
