Just curious - How long was it between glue up and mounting in the lathe? I
know th bottles say cured in X (hour, 2 hours, etc.). When I mount an
object in the lathe, especially with a fair amout of face-gluing, I like for
it to sit on the bench for at least a day. I may be wrong, but it seems
like a larger face-glued surface might take longer to set.

At least it makes me feel better.
