Did you do that with some sort of wood work knurling tool?

Yes, I've had it years but don't use it very often, idea's good, but the cutters are less than ideal for sharpness and I find it very difficult to get consistent results with the different wheels and modes, add to that the total variability of each sample of wood and as they say 'best laid plans' and all that, play a significant part in the outcome.

Could just be me, lack of practice and patience, something I think you might need in spades to justify the current retail price.

Like all Knurling there is a need to match peripheral circumference of work and wheel tooth spacing for cleanest results.

I have the Robert Sorby version of that tool Chas and as you say practice is the key as well as wood type. I found Beech to be a good wood.

Nice looking Pot/Vase

I picked mine up from a trade stand promotion at Yandles some years ago, one of those must have discount offers, it seemed a good idea at the time.
Afraid it's not been one of those 'go for' tools on the rack.
Guess I must try harder.

I was lucky I got mine very cheap less than 1/4 of the price which I don't mind if it sits and gets only a little use, I would have to think twice if I had to pay full price.
Like you I don't use it enough
