I mounted a good sized spalted maple log to the lathe and got it round.



The shape was going well...






I was pretty much done hollowing it, just needed to scrap it smooth...It was pretty punky in the base but I though I could clean it up...then I thought, just a little thinner...then I thought OH NOOOOO!!! Then I remembered Neal Addy's sig line on WoodNet...."Never, under ANY circumstances, make the last cut."







About 3hrs work with a not so good result. Oh well, its just wood and my time...still kinda upset about it though. Nice looking spalted maple too...I guess there always another log, right.
