Start to finish for Ghostly, Part II

In order to ensure that I'm able to match the grain on the CRAZY grain pattern of this piece, I mark the inside of the tubes where they'll meet on the assembled pen.











I trimmed the corners off to make it a little easier to get started on the lathe. And now, the fun part! Here is the wood transforming from a square to a cylinder before it can be shaped.










And here's the wood getting its rough shape.
