Scott…
Thanks for re-posting your end grain V-carve photos… I remember now when you originally posted them but It wasn’t anything I thought I’d ever do so didn’t pay close attention! We didn’t run the DC and the “chips” just sat there… no drifting around! I don’t know how much the wood hardener had to do with the clean cut but I used it before on a 3d cut in western cedar (not end grain) and was very pleased that time as well!
