If you use a steb center on both ends (revolving in tailstock) you can predrill. There is "NO" play at the centerpoint!
Yes, dumpster picking is a real blast. Back in the day we ran into a funeral home guy dumping coffin crates!! Well I grabbed one, took it home and knocked it apart. It was all #1 pine!! I called the funeral home and had all the crates delivered to my dad's barn. After a while you would think we were running a funeral home. We had crates stacked everywhere. It made very nice furniture stock.

Here are the jigs I use to make the same darter. After turning I drill it the same way CS does. I use the drill holes as a guide to hold it square while I cut the slope on the bandsaw, clean up with a block plane, and then change jigs to hold the plug vertical as I run it through the tablesaw to cut the mouth. Works OK, but all my maple ones ended up splitting, much to my dismay.
