Hello Everyone. Here is a project that I just wanted to try out, I glued it up over the week, and let it fully dry, today I started the turning. What you are looking at is, end grain used on a walking stick, with an All thread rod as the center/spine. of this rod. THe idea is/was to use end grain wood for walking sticks, the rod would add strength and make it easy to add on the handle and foot, once done. I had a lot of scraps in the old storage bin, Teak,Mahogany,and some kind of neat looking pallet wood for central america. all cut into squares and drilled out to fit onto a 3/8" steel all thread rod. The problem quickly was I,D,d . the center flexed a lot when being turned on the Legacy, even at the slow speed of the Legacy, the wood flexed. I tried to use my center support brace to keep the flexing, but sadly after trying every trick that I could think of , the flex won out. This is much thinner than I had planed, The end grain looks really nice, but I need to find a better material for the spine. Dose any one have any ideas??? Any and All ideas are (as always.) welcome. Have a Great weekend. C.A.G.
