Round and Round we go!

I am sure you have imagined we continue to process of making corners rounded. 

Just like before, the vertical cuts are made to make the excess wood easier to remove without the chance of it cracking or splitting off in unwanted ways.

This is the blank after the second corner.

As the excess is cut away, the grain and color patterns begin to appear.

The third corner is trimmed up.

The Fourth Corner is exactly the same process.  Once the rough circle has taken shape, we have to take it to the lathe for mounting and final rounding out.  More in the next post!
