I've got my next project in mind. I'm thinking about ordering one of these wood grinders for this project. I hear they are dangerous. Have any of you used one to shape a large wood project? Any pointers if so?

Have never used one, so not sure how much i can say. It looks much safer than those angle grinder chainsaw blades.

Can you get different burr levels? A coarse one for roughing and a finer one for when you're close to finished.

I'd probably do a couple of practice pieces before starting on the main project too. To get a feel for how it behaves, particularly in different grain directions.

I want to create something similar to this.

That'll be pretty cool. Should be a good tool for that job.

As an alternative to colored wood stains, you can use food coloring mixed with a bit of vinegar. Here's an example of its use: https://poal.co/s/Woodworking/622393

Wow, I love the color penetration and depth. I'm gonna mix up a small amount and test it
