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. Drilled a tiny hole in the end for an ornament hanger later. Put my steady rest near tge end and then backed the taikstock off so it was barely in them hole. The other end was in my chuck. I would turn about 5" abd sand and apply 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 just keep doing this until it's done. Never could run the rims up very fast without excessive wobble of the already turned areas so patience was the key.
