Every thing went wrong with the spindles on this one turned them to the shape i wanted them stopped the lathe and bits were missing from some of the edges there must have been a split in the blanks and they were the last I had so I had to make some parts smaller than intended

A great save Woody another exceptional piece from your stable(well it is big enough to be one).

What did you use to fill the split saw dust or maybe coffee grinds
