update on my willow bowl project
Toller: I keep getting a bounce from your

I am trying to send you the "solution" to your tearing out problems and your
address doesn't work!! 8^(

Came out really pretty, but the tear out killed it. It was not like
normal tear out where some fibers tear out rather than cutting; hunks of
wood just pulled out. I think my tools were adequated sharp; maybe not.
The tear out is just bad on the outer part of the tree, but horrible on
the inner part.
Interesting thing is how it drank up LBO. I have never seen a wood so
thirsty other than maybe spalted maple.
And, I learned there there is actually something worse than tear out. I
tried to fix it by mixing glue with willow dust and filling in the tear
out. Now it looks like tear out filled with glue and willow dust.
