Finishing up a 9" bowl on the lathe with polishing mops this morning. Looking nice with an application of carnauba wax. I had got to the final buffing stage with the finishing mop when it started hammering down with rain outside. Momentarily distracted as I looked out the window at this strange, unfamiliar wet stuff coming out of the sky, the mop snatched the bowl and flung it under the lathe where it broke into two pieces. A day's work up the Swanee. A nice piece of macrocarpa (monterey cypress) I was planning on giving to my sister-in-law at her 60th birday party tomorrow. Yes, the air went a bit blue in there...
