more steam twisted candlesticks
« on: May 09, 2016, 08:37:10 AM »
This is a further example - this time of a solid 20mm square ash rod but otherwise like my previous posting (I am not sure how to just add to that).  The jigs are the same but force needed is greater and I am not sure why the twist is more near the end where force is applied.  The wood is just beginning to split at 180 degrees.
