Had a scrap of Walnut from lumber 3/4 x 9-1/4 W only 7" long with a knot imperfection about center one face. Added a glue block to opposite face and turned this piece. Used a washer to limit live center point penetration and jammed against open jaws of chuck to turn tenon. Point moved about 1/8 so bowl not centered as planned, but still came out pretty good for just fun. Did piece on little Nova Comet II with about 1/8" swing clearance to tips. Photo of piece sanded to 400 grit and buffed with Tripoli. Have now started final finish of home brew modified Danish oil with a little extra varnish.
