Post by: ghost5 on February 25, 2013, 02:31:24 PM: Nope never would sell one that blew up but I hate wasting a pretty piece of wood. I glue some of those and finish them then they go on a shelf. Like I need more clutter around here ::)

Post by: Austy on February 25, 2013, 03:04:24 PM: That one would be a good one to pressure cast in some clear colored Alumilite with the piece missing rather than tossing the piece all together. That way you could really mix it up with that beautiful wood and some acrallic, all in one call.

Had a blackwood trumpet finished that was going in the mail the next day when I decided to but one more coat of wax and buff it ......Well the lanyard got caught in the buffing wheel on the lathe. There was not a salvagable piece on that finished call when I was dne with it. The lanyard hangs in full view in my shop along with some other valuable lessons I learned along the way...
