Lot of chat about turning wood. But has anyone used their wood lathe yet =
for turning Porcelain bisque prior to glaze firing. I believe that is =
the way to achieve an eggshell thin, fully translucent quality.

Hey Ivor,

Have I told you lately that you're a flippin' genius? This is just the
rationialization I needed to justify buying a mini-lathe. Thank you!

Have you actually done this? Do you prefer any particular brands for any
reason (hey, money's a good reason). Any particular chisels?

Thanks~
Marlene
