Neophyte wood turner here
I have been trying to burn a groove on the inside of a bowl with less than impressive results.
8-12" bowls of hard maple
I have tried .020 micarta, .020 Formica, ugly smell but little burn, small hardened steel rod ground to .020 then bent over , and nails ground to .020 then bent over. The burn in is slight and not consistent. I have been turning the bowls at between 700 to 1000rpm.
Any ideas that might help?
