Kia ora Tama. Yummy work there.

Thanks for showing a tad bit more of the stages of development. You take yours less far on the grinding wheel than I have been doing....that was helpful...those 'grunty' wheels can really chew up a piece in a hurry. I've been trying to do more with that wheel because having to remove more material eats up the burs.

I'm curious about which bur you would use to do the finer rough out...say around that head. I have a smallish cylinder that I use a lot, but it still seems like that might not be the right one..

Thanks Tama....yah, the world is a busy place for us all. No whining! Just no time for the bench right now.
