From: Ron Natalie <???????????????????????> Subject: Carving There was an article in Better Homes and Garden's Wood magazine about a year ago on pipe carving. From my recollection of the article the rounded bowls were not made using a lathe, but just carefully carved in that shape. The magazine only comes out quarterly, so you ought to be able to dig up a copy. -Ron ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U ~\U
