To conclude as promised yesterday, today is tomorrow init?
You can see here why I wanted to stabilize this piece of oak for the cap, it is the last piece after a few disasters along the way.

Following the same procedure as the the bottom barrel, the cap was gingerly turned to complete the closed end 300 yr old oak Omega.

Normally I would have binned the blank and started again but this one just had to be done, I chose not to put a clip on it as there is barely any wood left.
Plenty of brass can be seen through the holes.
