Not a bad effort .
Forgot to change the speed on the lathe though and had the 4x4 raw material hit me in the neck and shoulder at @ 2200RPM

That gives an amazing effect . Given that i got twatted around the head by a lump of 4x4 i doubt very much that wood turning is allowed in schools now a days Why on earth would you teach them to concentrate and not make silly mistakes that really really hurt .Back in my childhood the school woodwork master would glue lots of bits of wood together for us to turn, is that allowed nowadays?
Good work. Did you make a template or just "eyeball" it?Not a bad effort .

Eyeballed most of it but made a cardboard template for the big sweeping bits . They are the hard bits !Good work. Did you make a template or just "eyeball" it?
When I was at school there was an incident involving a sanding disc that led to the teachers deciding that maybe we shouldn't be wearing ties in the workshop after all.That gives an amazing effect .
