Nice work Gayle!

What are the paddles for? I like the curves on the finished one, nice smooth transitions.

The other trick I've found on long turnings like that is to keep the thicker side on the headstock end and only turn short sections to finish at a time starting from the tailstock (where short is some function of the relative size and thickness). That keeps a lot of the vibration to a minimum.

The turns will finish up as Shoe Horns. Your trick is good to use heaver or thicker up by the head stock it helps a bunch. Thanks
