This my version of useing the blow torch on a turning, the wood is macrocarpa and is 15"dia. and 5' depth, there was a number of hair line cracks in this bowl and I carved it with a proxon carver then got to work with the blow torch, I kept a spray bottle of water as it kept catching fire, a good exercise.

You put that beautifully Sheila and I agree with everything you have said, if I had not found this site I would have quit when my Ryobi died, Thank Steve Jimbo
