biggest turning ever

[paintspill]

well at a whopping 9.5 " its big on a midi lathe with a 10" swing

just an excuse to spend a couple evenings in the shop. its a piece of walnut i got from a customer. i've been cutting some pen blanks up as well.

Well done! It's always good to explore the limits of your lathe, let it know who's boss!

Very nice.
You know this could lead to a bigger lathe in the future!

Black Walnut is a favorite of mine.

Was going to cut up a log today, but the 'list' from the boss didn't include that chore of things to do.....errr.


BTW, how deep is that turning?
And the finish used?

I just bought a Nova DVR-XP. I'm getting tired of the little Jet I have.
