Jumping in a the deep end....yes, that sounds like me
It's not as if I don't have much decent wood, there's plenty waiting for me in the pile. I do though really prefer the look of pieces that are left with bark, inclusions and other imperfections.
I'll have a go at reshaping it tomorrow.....perhaps more curvy and thinner....eggshell-like...
I always use a faceshield and a decent mask when sanding....low risk tolerance here
Thanks for the honesty, very much appreciated.
