Thanks!

Thanks! It’s sanded down for the most part. I just need to do a final round or two of sanding. I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe, so I’ve been having to do all the sanding by hand and since I didn’t have any oils yet I’ve been doing it slowly. But I should be able to get it worked on today

Thanks! It does still need a little sanding, I forgot to sand before I took it off the lathe lol. I’ll have to check out the oils you suggested. Thanks for the advice!

So I have a rough idea of how I’m going to cut the corners I want, I mainly was looking for the type of name of the corner/edge so when I went to my local woodcrafting store it would be easier to ask what tools/bits I need. Or just explain to them what I’m doing, the guys that work there are older gentlemen that love to talk about tools and projects so they are always genuinely interested in what people are making.

Thanks for the advice though, I hadn’t originally thought of additional rails/fence, most of my router work has been “let me route this edge and make it look nice” or “I can recess the wire for this bird feeder with a rabbet” I’ve never thought about using it to cut off a big corner of wood before so I may have to try it out on some scrap wood and see how it goes.

Shou sugi ban is the trademarked name, but a lot of people use this term because that’s the name they’ve heard. Yakisugi is the term for the technique if I remember correctly. But it is absolutely beautiful, you can find some lovely examples of outdoor furniture with this method alone and with combining yakisugi and colored wood stain.
