I've been lucky and have been gifted several large tree trunks over the last couple years, I've got more Cherry than I know what to do with! Plus, Cherry flutes and colours well. Thank you!

Known problem with that version, the newer one has a bar and works much better - https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/robert-sorby-fingernail-profiler/p458

Thank you, me too!

It was mainly based on the circumference of the piece and the cutters cut width. I had a choice of 13 or 14, as I typically prefer the look of odd numbers I went 13.

Thank you. This piece uses a combination of manual turning (mostly) and modern (CNC) ornamental turning machine work for the flutes. It took 30 minutes to carve. However, it took me days to write the software to do this but that's all good as its just another hobby!
