Agree with all of the above. Charleston is dead on with the "don't rush it" comment. And Capesams is dead on with the amount of time it would take "an experienced turner" to make a blank. Figure 2 1/2 to 5 minutes. But if the wood isn't coming off easily you are doing something wrong. Dull tools, wrong position, wrong tool - any of which can lead to disaster so don't look at the time it takes - look at what your tools are doing. My dad always said that a dull pocket knife is much more dangerous than a sharp one - why? Because you start to force it.
