Hey, I was wondering if it's possible to drill all the way through the Blank and still mount it on the Lathe? I know that you can use the expanding chuck but if the blank isn't trued up wouldn't your blank just fly off when you make your roughing cuts? The hole I need to drill is 2 inches in diameter, So would a pin chuck work to support it?
what are you putting on the sand paper?

@Randy071247 It's paste wax and mineral oil I use it for the finish.

Hi,
I drill all the way through when I make duck calls and mount
it on the pin chuck. You need the diameter to be 2 inches that's a
big pin chuck. I would turn down a waste block and mount it that way.

Beautiful wood and nice looking candlestick. And the video is well made, just as always- step by step how to make a candlestick. Best regards, Greg
