I have been trying to figuring how to with a "Normal" lathe but keep seeing potential probs so I dont know what to say. I can give the basic principle then maybe you can see something I dont.
One thing is for sure is there too much to it to explain here
I handcarved one tonight ... not too bad ...Are they weighted .. I have a few originals .. either they did a good job hiding the weights or there aren't any .

Crap! Where do I get one of those?

PS. Eddy and Chris, I'm pretty sure they are unweighted, if I get a chance I'll check for sure.
