Post: RE: Game call blanks.
Good ideas and recommendations. I do have a Beech blank cut to the right size but I wasn't sure if it was a hardwood. Uh oh, I believe my Beech has some spalting so I should not use yes? I plan on mak...

Post: RE: speed used when using skew
I sometimes use a spindle gouge to get the turning to round and when I switch to the skew I turn the speed up as fast as my lathe will go. I get smoother cuts when using high speed. But you use what w...
