Trembler

Only a master turner can make that!!

John, do ya even think about sanding something like that, towards thr middle, guess u turn middle 1st. What rpms do u turn @? Well done.

Well done. The recent video on making tremblers showed using a small stick or dowel that passed through the head stock. Are you willing to share how you did this one?

It was an oak handrail so I started it between centers. I drilled a tiny hole in the end for an ornament hanger later. I put my steady rest near the end and then backed the tailstock off so it was barely in the hole. The other end was in my chuck. I would turn about 5" and sand and apply the finish. Then move the steady rest to turn another 4 or 5 inches. When the already turned areas started to wobble I put a string steady on. Then I just kept doing this until it was done. I never could run the RPMs up very fast without excessive wobble of the already turned areas so patience was the key.

Thanks for the explanation John.

Nicely done! A handsome trembleur ..... and elderly model! 😇
