Hello,

Here's another safety reminder. Yesterday, I was sanding the inside of
a deep (5 in.) natural edge bowl. The rim was undercut, so the
irregular shape of the rim was compounded. Well, the x-rays confirmed
that I have a small fracture of the right ring finger. Please use a
sanding stick or some other device when finishing these irregularly
shaped bowls. Avoid putting your hands inside a bowl of this type. I
will now have several weeks to consider better sanding techniques for
the future.
