I have been remiss in offering my thanks for the many many replies to
the query. It has been *very* helpful and I now have a better idea of
"method of work". I just knocked my first bit of firewood into a
cylinder (was mucking with nice prepared smallish square stock before)
in prelude to making these; what a rush! Somehow, the g/f doesn't
understand the thrill. "It is just a cylinder"; "But I made it from
firewood!" blank stare "OK. Nice job". Ah well...
