I've had suicidal wood more than I care to admit! I mean, one minute I'm
happily turning away and the next thing I know, the poor little guy girl?
just flings himself from my lathe, flies across the garage and thrusts
himself upon a perfectly innocent sheetrock wall! I'm starting to believe
that certain woods have self esteem issues!

You forget, wood is much like us, if we spin one way we have to unwind
or we become unstable, so remember once in a wile, reverse that lathe,
to unwind
