This piece of Red Gum was rough turned and bounced around my shop for months and was used for a paper weight. I finally decided to put it on the lathe. I thought for sure I'd blow it to pieces. I tested my patience and actually turned it down to 1/8th inch thick with out destroying it.

I could hear it getting thinner. At the end, I wrapped it with tape to keep it from going to pieces. This was an extremely enjoyable piece to turn.
