OK you 'red palm' blank turners...
Is it just me, or is red palm difficult to drill... with a 33/64" bit? Yeah, I know it is a big bit, and I was drilling very slowly, very carefully... but it cracked right in half, the length of the blank, when I got to the end... boo hoo for me...
Maybe I picked the wrong wood for a Churchill?
Now, don't let my proclivity for blowing out blanks influence your response, and no darts from the NoVa Peanut Gallery [)]
(Yeah, like that's going to keep them off' me! )
