Description}: This is a significant project to me.. It is the very first piece of wood I put in my G3, it has flown out of the lathe a min of 6 times, it has been thrown across the shop a min of 2 times by me. I alway through it back on the shelf and tried again every week or so. And it is what actually taught me the most on turning something like this, including helping me learn to do support bowls better.
