Why anyone would want to try and turn a straight pin out of wood? To
see if I could. Not quite there, but got down to less than 1/32" in
diameter - over about an inch and a quarter. Think I can go even
smaller.

Fun challenge. If you want to give it a go, this info, and the link to
my YouTube video showing the technique may be of use.
