Hi Hunter, Thanks for the kudos on the stick. My wife graduated from Michigan. The rug wore out and I'm using it to STAND on. LOL I'm with MSU.

Nice work Don. Your rediscovery of the lathe is really taking hold ;-)

Can you explain what you mean, that you had to make it in 2 parts? I'd like to understand a little better how you made it.

Hello Jon, You are asking how I made it in two parts. That's kind of a compliment if you think about it. Anyway, if you look about a foot from the bottom you'll see a line. That's where I cut the cane in two. The cane is an inch in diameter, likewise I turned a nub on one of the halves to 1/2". The other half, I drilled a 1/2" hole to receive the "nub", sort of like a mortise and tenon. Then I turned each 16 inch piece to my specs, then glued them together. I put a small angle on each piece so that when I put them together, It doesn't look like a splice but rather a decoration to hide the splice.

Ahh I see, so it wouldnt vibrate while you turned it. Very cool, thanks for the explanation. It looks good, I couldn't tell it was two parts.
