A tenant moved out of one of the properties I manage and left a broken chair on the curb. I took home some pieces for practice spindles.
When I cut it open it looked interesting. I assume it's maple.
Is it maple?
I decided to make a trim line out of the tapered cutoffs. It was a hair short, do I glued on some kingswood scrap and a little aluminum spacer.
You'll notice that I cracked the tip inserting it. 3rd time in a row. The tube is clean, but these trimlines seem to get crooked even when I try to be careful. I usually put it in a little way, spinning it a little between each press. I'm also learning TBC and still getting a bit of flare on the tube, which I guess makes the wood that much thinner at the edge.
