Introducing the twisted tail

 Hollowed this one out last night. Because it is so far away from the power I needed to support it with the wheel ring. Planned for a twisted tail on this one.
 After band sawing the general shape of the tail, I began to shape it making some design decisions as I go.
Here the tail has been roughed out and sanded to 220 using the mandrel on the lathe. Actually, the lathe was used exclusively to rough shape and sand the tail. Some handwork needed of course. Overall, I think it has a lot of potential....we will see how far I can take it on the next one.
