Spent some time turning a few today. All was going well till I decided to turn a snakewood stick. Long story short a chunk popped off. Needless to say I wasn't happy but it happens plenty when turning snakewood. Stopped the lathe to see how bad it was and figured I may be able to save it. This one worked out well. Doesn't always end that way.

Great looking sticks Bill, bet you were relieved it was salvageable being snakewood.

My Lyman snakewood is the best striker I own.  Paid off last week in GA paired with a Larry Halford persimmon red slate over aluminum.  The striker runs on everything it touches.

Your not kidding. Had one blow up on the lathe two weeks ago. I look it over good before I start turning. Just never know with this stuff when you start. Thanx all for the kind words and pics of dead turkey's . Nothing better than that this time of year.

Can you ever get tired of killing birds with a scratch box. For me that will never get old.
