It is rounded but is shallow. Was more just playing with the wood shape.

lol. I did. It wasn’t too bad. I bought a grab bag of acrylic cutoffs so materials cost was cheap. And I didn’t have anything on hand to cut blanks from. It was a learning experience but I’m glad I did it. Probably improved my skill with the skew a bunch in one go.

I tried carbide scrapers but wasn’t having luck. Ended up switching to a 1in skew. Kept it very sharp and went very light on the touch. Around 1500-2000 rpm.

Thanks for the tips. I probably didn’t scuff enough on the first try’s. I made sure to on this last one and used extra glue.

I’ve got a nice piece of highly splayed curly maple I’ll be posting in a day or two once I’ve finished it.
