Re: Bale bengong variation
I like when round meets square. What sort of plane did you use for those posts? Very nice work and i'm sure the clients were pleased!

John, I took my cheapest regular kanna, the koyama brand from toolsfromjapan, and modified to dai to make it convex. It was a nice experiment. The more you plane, the more shape you loose, so you gotta stop when it feels just right. I got some tear out around the knots though, and couldn't acheive the best result. Next time I'll try with a yari kanna, but clearly I have to find some higher quality wood to work with.

As you can see, the first few cm after the blade are flat, like the pressure point on a regular kanna, then the curve begins.
