There are a few new toys I will need to order. Those little sanding blocks look to be very useful. Did you use a lathe to shape that piece of wood or were you able to buy it that way? I got the conga shape using a grinder and eye-balling it. Be sure to use thick leather gloves if you try it. Ben, What can I say? I think you just made everyone's day. I can't wait to start my next piece so I can try out your technique. Two hunks of sasparilla wood should be arriving any day now.
