I just can't seem to get the right combination together to produce a good handle joint. This was another attempt at lapping, which is not as good, I think, as making the attachment areas flat.
Perhaps after a bit of reconsideration and hints, I might grow past it.
I'd love to hear and see the results of your continuing experiments, it is something I wondered about doing but never actualy tried... The cup is nice though :-)
No idea how to do it, George, but a suggestion: (works very well for me)
Go do something else for a bit and let your subconscious work on it.. you'll find a pleasing combination...
Very familiar wood in the pretty cup.. you taking all of Susan's firewood? Mac
Soft maple, this time only spalted a bit rather than waterlogged.
It was 40 yesterday, so we're really saving on wood.
we're having a heat wave here... been in the upper 50's and lower 60's for about a week... the shop was 65 tonight.. Mac
Hmmm....
Down here in sunny South Texas it was 81. Expecting cooler (high 75) tomorrow, and by Saturday high of 70.
Maybe the warmest winter in our recorded history. Only hit freezing twice this whole winter.
Sigh. This usually means a gawdawful hot summer with low 100s and drought.

Last week it was C11 (call it F50), right now we have a foot of snow on the ground at C-2 (F28)(the storm missed us) and Saturday calls for C8 (F46) and rain. This is one weird winter or fall or whatever. Last week I could find the wood pile and this week I assume the snow pile in the middle needs to be bowls. On the other hand I have little time to turn right now so the indoor stockpile should do for next year or two.
====================
The cool front came thru today during the 11:00 AM news. Temp in Austin was
55', in San Antonio, 72'.You forgot about the big problem with the lack of freezing nites; insects!

And Mold.
Man oh, man. We haven't had a mosquito around here in SA for so long I forgot what they look like. (However, a quick trip to Houston to see my family will remind me.. theirs are the size of quarters..)
I am just thinking after your post, it may be time for our "once every few years" cricket plague that we get.
Come on hard freeze!!!
