woodturning punky maple wood. I take three rough Maple bowls that had some punky areas on them, and save them using a mixture of table top epoxy and acetone to make penetrating epoxy. This mixture soaked down into the wood and hardened up the punky areas so I was able to turn it. I end up with three premium bowls with beautiful figure. I will be able to retail these bowls for a total of $250. #brailsfordwoodworks #punkywoodturning #turningpunkywood #woodart #woodturningart #robustamericanbeauty #robustturnersedgebowlgouge #thompsonbottombowlgouge #thompsonbowlgouge ..read more

How I survived a Heart Attack. This is the story of how I survived the heart attack that I had on May 11. They had to perform CPR on me as well as use an AED.
