Thank you!

Good timing Tony. I have several blanks in a similar condition l. 👏

I know the video is a little longer that most folks have time for, but I thought this one tip was worth doing a full turn video on. I really appreciate the support, and I hope this trick works for you!

When I watch wood turning videos I'm not watching to hear music. I want to hear the teacher. Ain't that right Super Man Tomislav

[@tonyturnswood]

I appreciate that feedback for sure!

Auch ich habe lange Zeit versucht, mit Konrastfarben die Risse zu füllen. Bei Esche zum Beispiel mit dunkelblau. Inzwischen bin ich aber etwas davon abgekommen und arbeite jetzt gern mit Hartwachs. Das gibt es in vielen Farben und mit einem Lötkolben lässt es sich gut einfügen in die Risse und danach gut schleifen. Ist aber viel Arbeit, weil ueberstehendes Material vor dem Schleifen mit Rasiermesser entfernt werden sollte, damit sich das Schleifpapier nicht gleich zusetzt.

Great Tip! I will have to try that!
