    Re: Back on the lathe (Curly sycamore)

    Yeh, Nick is back again . I bet that feels good. I miss seeing your turnings and the advice and info you give on them. I'll be really curious to see if the curl "pops" out of the wood after a while. I turned some curly Sycamore a while back and it was still a little green. I sanded it smooth as a babys butt, and a few days later you can feel the grain of the curl. Kinda cool, but unexpected.

    Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

    Heard from a client..."If I had your tools and experience...I could do it myself"
