The Unkindest Cut Of All

The other night I was in the shop working on what was going to be a Walnut coffee mug.  I got everything almost ready to sand, then decided it needed "just one more cut".   Well...


If you look closely at the top of the small piece you can see the catch that ruined a night's work.  If you ever decide to turn wood,  just remember that the next-to-last cut is usually the one that you want to be your last.  :)

  1. Too bad! Were you able to salvage it at all, or was it a total loss?

  2. Not salvageable. I put the pieces back together but the crack was still very noticeable
