>When I started to rough out this blank I found a band of material that was really spungy and

rotten. I threw the block in the trash, but later thought I would give the diluted white glue

soak a try. I just applied the glue to the punky parts with a rag and kept pouring it on until it

seemed saturated. It cured for a day and the next day it turned pretty good, I wet sanded it

so the slurry could fill the many large holes in the punky section. It took several sanding

sessions but it finally smoothed out. Turned out to be wife�s new best liked piece. I confess I

was surprised at how well it turned out. Bay Laurel, 4 3/4� wide , 3 3/4� high and 1/4�

thick. Thanks for looking.

>Hi Don,

Nice save on that one! I like the shape and grain of that wood, I can see why someone would say it is a favorite.

I like the way the top curves back in on itself. I find that a difficult shape to do well and yours looks quite nice.

Thanks for the pics,

Mike
