Pat I saw a guy on youtube bend a pc about 3/8" or 1/2" thick in what looked like a 12" radius, shocked the heck out of me, that's why I tried it

I have been doing this for yrs., and yes I have holes in it! :laugh: If you are afraid of microwaves then why would you eat food that comes out of it is my question. ;) If you put wet rags in the holes around your stave little of the microwaves escape....the rags will ge hot on the inside, but not the outside. :) I have been using this method since that PA article was written.

Yes, don't cut side to side! I found that little drawknife in a tool box at a swap meet....(the metal only) I added the ocean spray handles. It is very small, but is my favorite drawknife. Pays to dig sometimes! ;)
