Thanks Guys,
Believe it or not this is after 150 then 220. The wood type on this particular turning was pine cut from an old 2x4. I do need to try to leave a finish cut when I get near the end. I always turn the lathe at the fastest speed but think I need to get my tools a little sharper as I have noticed that makes a big differance. I'll have to try all the above on Friday after I eat and
the day away tomorrow.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
