Yeah I know the pun on words for the heading is a little over the top. :U
I was told that this was a piece of Tasmania Oak. It was laying around the garage with a hole in it. I used it originally for something else and this had become scrap. So i put it on the lathe to try and turn a dish out of it mounted in the screw chuck. I turned a tenon and mounted it in the chuck to finish off the inside. I drilled out a larger hole and then took it off the lathe. I mounted a piece of scrap wood to turn my own dowel. The fit was tight as what you would normally want then I thought that I could highlight the down with a bit of dyed epoxy. I sanded the hole at the top lip a little wider, so the dowel was tight in the bottom half of the hole and a loose fit at the top.
I think I should have made it a little wider as it is not really seen that much unless you get really close. :dunno:
All comments and criticism welcome and that INCLUDES PUNS.
