refining the exterior. The Nova, and I think, some other rotating tails
allow you to make tapered plywood disks of any size and bolt them to the
rotating center. Works as well as tennis balls or wooden cones, in my
experience.

I'd rather go with the tennis ball, George... the inside of the bowl was
sanded
to 1500 grit and I don't wanna do that again.. ;-]


I don't do that ever, but an angled groove in the plywood disk holds just
the rim if you are fastidious, and in no way prevents you from reburnishing
once you're done.

Dental floss is strong and prewaxed. Plus the mint scent can cove up any
residual from the mothballs!
