Re: Radius Dish Help
This was the setup I used to make dishes. Blank mounted on a Lazy-Susan bearing on sheet of plywood, rails that router rides on mounted inside frame that also holds dust collection at each end.

Re: Red Tip Photina wood
Try fuming it in a closed container with a small dish of ammonia added. It should darken it considerably.

I have the Stew-Mac blade and use it in my Delta cabinet saw. Cuts like a charm for medium(.023") fret wire.

Side braces have to be inlet ...

Re: hide glue vs bone glue?
Gordon, I bought from LeeValley the first time I used HHG, then found a vendor on ebay for Milligan & Higgins 192g strength high clarity. Only thing I would use the LeeValley stuff for now is glueing bridges.
