To check holes in things before you buy them? roflmao



but I love turning vases with holes in them! For example, I turned a
black wallnut crotch a couple months ago. The top of the vase was at
the crotch. This resulted in some interesting bark inclusions that when
I hollowed broke out leaving bark lined holes in the vase. The outside
of the base has sapwood, bark, and dark heart wood.
