This is a blank from George's Bits of Timber. I honestly thought this blanks was going to be a lost cause, because of that big knot. So I just grabbed a couple slim tubes. The pack had 4 blanks in it, and some were long enough to do a 2 tube and a single tube blank, so I was not too worried about this blank falling apart. I also figured it would help me work on my slow cuts.
So I turn and get down quiet a ways, and figured I would actually try and work on the skills and abilities of turning a difficult blank. So I CA glue it, get a drink, smoke a cigarette, and go back and turn some more, CA glue it, and so on.
I get it turned down to size, and put some DNA on it to clean the blank. That is when the cussing started. Why didn't I grab a better set of tubes to do this blank on.
