kmrhodes: to make a new log
merrie60us: sort of oval shaped?
kmrhodes: yes, looks oval
merrie60us: oh I see leaf shaped
merrie60us: narrow at bottom oval at top
merrie60us: so I guess there will be six of these
merrie60us: putting two side by side
auntyalias: now the middle bit needs to be cut so the pearl is like an arrow point
dahs512: she is putting the canes side by side
auntyalias: and it'll fit in the middle there
merrie60us: have to see
merrie60us: cuts one piece in center with blade...
merrie60us: shaping log
dahs512: need close up NJ
merrie60us: not sure what she is doing oh I get it filling in between two petals
kmrhodes: squeezing the three pieces into a new log
merrie60us: the filler is on half of the original log not shaped into a leaf just shaped to fit into space between two leaves
merrie60us: oh wow
dahs512: got it
