Occasionally I get the urge to test out the limits of my lathe and myself. I had purchased the little burl slab, some 10 years ago and it has been stood up against a wall for 9 of those 10 years. It wasn't completely flat, but with a little bit of work got a flat for the ply sacrificial board to be glued on. Dimensions, longest 860, shortest 760, started at about 60mm thick. Maximum speed, about 300rpm. Sanded to 800 with the vast majority of sanding done off lathe with a ROS, as the "fluttering" of the piece, even at 50 rpm was disconcerting and has got 1 coat of Hard Burnishing oil soaking into every void.
It was very interest to turn.
