re: Oval cut

Sounds like Bondo’s method is the way to go. Thanks for the help.

Paul, would you climb cut all the way around? It seems to me that I would only climb cut the diagonal opposing “corners” where the bit would dig into the end grain. I’m sure that’s what you mean, but correct me if I’m wrong.
I’m out of town again, 200 miles from my shop and home. I won’t get home until late Friday night so I’ll make a final run to the mill on Saturday.
