After turning a piece like that I can't see whats to stop you entering the challenge ,

If you have the time give it a go.
 
great job Brian,it is quite an experiance when putting big stuff on lighter lathes with pressed steel stands isn`t it,and the 500 lower rev limit does make it dance quite a bit until you make it round,nice to see the finnished article,well done,regards,

Eric.
 
:D :D

It's not on a pressed steel stand it's on a solid wooden bench but it still vibrated like mad :D

Thanks for your comments, it's nice to know others like it

I'm flattered that you think I could enter a challenge but I still don't feel ready. Maybe sometime in the future.

regards

I have renewed hope for willow now! Lovely job Brian.
My neighbour finished having a willow tree felled yesterday and has given me pick of whatever I want before the rest goes for a bonfire. Everything I have read so far about turning willow suggests it is far from ideal, but this gives me hope.
I guess if nothing else it will give me some turning practice!
Thanks for sharing Brian.
 
I keep seeing pictures of projects on here that blow me away, and I think yours is right up there with the WOW factor! :D :D

Well Done
