Makes me wonder too. If you take a look around.............a lot of
woodworkers have one or more fingers missing.

I tried my first square-edge bowl today. The blank was a 5" x5" x 2"
piece
of Honduras Mahogany. All went well as I mounted the blank on the

screw of my Super Nova chuck and proceeded to turn the back side of the
bowl. I was sanding with a small piece of sandpaper, when my hand
slipped
and a couple of the wings cut two small, but deep gashes in my second
finger. Ouch!
After a little self-applied first-aid, I resumed turning and finished my
first square-edge bowl, a little wounded and perhaps, (hopefully) a bit
smarter. Watch those wings!
Saw Stewart Batty make a square edge bowl in a turning club video once.
Noticed he had a finger missing. Always wondered if there was a
connection...
