Today, I have a question.
I just received a gator jawbone blank and would like to know what to do or not do as this is the first time with this blank.
Of course, I would think to drill slow speed/slow feed with a sharp bit.
Should I reinforce the blank before drilling? It will be a Zen and am using a 3/4" blank.
Any special turning tips? Light cuts, Carbide tools? I will finish with CA.
I posted a Cheer for Classic Nib for their great service/shipping. I don't know why it is not showing up in the regular forum. It is in the Cheers/Jeers forum though. I just saw the earlier post regarding Cheers and Jeers. I do like to read these unless someone is just bashing a vendor.
Thanks in advance.
