I was never happy with it for many reasons particularly the fact that overnight it went from round to oval (over a 1/4" out) & I`d bought the blank supposedly fully seasoned.
Whilst moving gear round in the workshop for the Hammer & making the wood store I found this bowl full of nuts n bolts & rather than throw it in the fire pile I put it to one side till I had time to see if i could re-turn it.
Last night I gave it a go, I mounted it in cole jaws & cut a shallow socket.
You can see not all the buttons were touching due to its shape & at this point I thought I may be wasting my time.
Fortunately I managed to get a clean cut all round before running out of wood & whilst it wont win any prizes for design, the finished article is far more pleasing than the original
