Hello,
My first post but have enjoyed reading many others.
I am making a walnut edge grain carving platter for my daughter. The sides are straight and the ends have a gentle curve. I want the juice groove to go around the board about 3/4" in from the edge and I plan a couple of gently curving internal grooves leading to a juice well at one end of the board.I don't want to ruin expensive wood or waste my prep and glue up time with a wandering juice groove. How should I rout the groove-- especially going around the corners. I have a hand held router with edge guide and a router table.
I would greatly appreciate some experienced thought.
Thanks,
Pozos
