I made quite a few of these years ago, and they were a lot of fun. I just ran across three kits that I bought probably 10 years ago. I turned this one from walnut, and finished it with Watco Danish oil. For some reason, this one doesn't spin very well. I tried to get most of the mass down low, but the tip is pretty round. That could be the problem. I might put it back on the lathe and reshape it.
