Just turned my first one last night.
Those inserts are a freaking pain in the rear, to not only drive but center well in end grain. Of course I have to credit that poor installment for my current tap handle.
Because one of my inserts was driven off square during the process. I was left with an off center blank. I decided to turn it for practice, but actually ended up liking it. The flat spot has a nice feel in your hand. Like it was meant to be there. It almost reminds me of an exclamation point. As if to say, "Beer!"

Looks great and I agree that would be awesome with some lazer engraving on the flat spot even if it just said "Beer".
