17 hours from rough sawn to dressed, sanded, turned and bundled 44 of them. Thanks for looking

Wow, that's 23 minutes roughly for each one, that's a cracking pace.
I would have found it hard to keep interested after the first dozen, well done.

Looking mighty fine ... is that turning free hand or using copy lathe/attachement etc.

The only aid I had was a pencil gauge, roughing gouge, 3/8 by 3/8 skew and a detail gouge. Nothing like production hand turning!

Thanks smiife, I think there is one or three that have fatter beads to be honest! The photo seems to accentuate the top of the bundle.
