>Don't you just hate when this happens?

I used to try and "save" these. I found that I didn't learn much by "saveing", that the "saves" looked at best "crafty" and more often like a piece of junk. To top it all off I found I could make a bowl from scratch faster than doing the "save" and the bowl from scratch always looked better.

I have seen the "saves" others do and they almost always look a lot better than my "saves". So there must be something to the "save" process that I don't understand.

Thanks

Richard

>Nice bowl Richard. You could turn a contrasting plug, glue it in and call it a design feature.

>Richard, I saw a post somewhere from a guy in Australia that put clear epoxy in the hole, and put a leaf from the type of tree it came from in the epoxy. It looked pretty neat. Try it.

>Peter:

That looks really neat. Can you describe what it is, and how you did it? Not that I will ever have any need for it! :-)
