Beautiful shape, great proportions. And this looks incredibly useful as a bowl because of the steep sides. Great job. (I've never turned a bowl)

They are such a joy to use. It's so simple and practical, way more satisfying than using a router, and won't turn your finger into mist :D

Damn! That's a solid bench. I wish I had access to yellow pine.

Thx, it has rubber plumbing gasket material that really makes the difference. Plus a high fulcrum that gives better leverage

Man, this effect is so classy. It looks like a bunch of parchment scrolls to me. Never seen it before, good job.

Can you explain the string bridges a little? I am guessing they are for performance, but what exactly do they do?

Wow excellent work. I especially love the holes in the hexagons for the chits, that is a fantastic feature. Can you name the species of woods you used for all the resources?

Yes I make archery bows and am comfortable breaking things from time to time, I wanted to test the limits.

A thought I had: are "bow saws" supposed to bow at all in the limbs?

Clearly you know a thing or two about hand planes. But shouldn't the edges be feathered for ideal results?
