Joe, I originally used a lath of straight grained Larch but it was a bit heavy on the pedal, that was substituted by a Hazel rod which worked wel, I used bailer twine. I always wanted to do some big artistic turning using a home made lathe driven by a car or small truck engine, there are a number of people that do this I think, full size archectural columms would fetch a good price, also fancied doing full size Totem Poles to flog to the those that have a home in London, a manor in the countryside and 10 BMWs in the driveway.
