A couple handfuls of pearl barley, oven roasted to a medium brown makes for an absolutely scrumptious vegetable beef soup.

For most 3D work indexable bull nose tools with light to moderate depths of cut and high feeds achieve final shape much faster and with much less tooling expense than corn cob cutters are capable of. When I need to rough with an endmill I usually reach for an SGS Z-Carb.
