Awesome! How long did it take, and will there be any finish applied?

I also appreciate the printout used as a guide.

    About 90mins to go from the blank to the thing in my hands, I'm a very inexperienced turner so don't quite have the techniques down for doing it quickly yet

    Gonna probably just wax it for a comfortable hand experience and to bring the grain out

    How scary is the CHUNKACHUNKA at the beginning when you're knocking the corners off? I've watched some videos and it sounds concerning!

    First thought was that looks like it would be great for poking someone with. Then read the text!

    Hey you wanna make handle more oval or egg shaped so it doesn't rotate in the hand.

    Yeah I thought that but apparently these are usually just cylindrical, didn't wanna second guess the guy with all the swords 🤣
