Warren, Richard, et al, Susan and I were working on several projects together around the time she put that piece in the Jounal. Her method did not spring full-blown from her fertile imagination. Many burned-to-a-crisp tiny pieces of bushing cloth littered the shop whilst the technique was developed. Rather than a dremel tool, I use the slow-speed setting on my cordless Milwaukee drill (the small kind, like the Panasonic, surprise - it's made by Panasonic). The reason is that the mass of the cordless helps me to provide a more stable platform for the workpiece, and, as an added benefit, does not spin the burnisher so fast as to burn the felt. Best.
