Working notes

In the shop, start with sharp tooling, light cuts, dust collection, and test pieces; adjust feed rate and finish schedule to the actual board or blank.

Myall dust should be treated cautiously; use dust collection, eye protection, and a respirator when machining.

Myall should be sold by project fit: colour, workability, durability, and the format the customer actually needs.
