What a difference the right tools make. I've turned several of these but they were tube in cast. I didn't have a drill bit long enough to drill all the way through so I used a 7mm bit to drill a pilot hole the went half way on each end with the correct size. I've done this before many times with no problems but I guess I had my heart set on this particular blank so it decided to take a turn for the worst. Made a trip to the local Woodcraft and then all went well. A Worthless Wood Blank with Buckeye Burl and 2 Tone blue Alumilite.
