I wonder if the wood does get dizzy from all the turning and
if it will throw up if it's turned too much.

What do you think?

Did you ever had some sick piece of wood?

I have turned pieces of wood that smelled like some one threw up, and
since it was wet, that is what I smelled like when I was done. Does
that count?

Score one for the troll... Tom

Well of course it gets dizzy, anyone that turns very much wood knows that!

If it gets too dizzy, it blows chunks all over the shop! Of course, it
only does this once, because once it blows chunks, you can't put it
together again (sort of like Humpty Dumpty).

The real trick to woodturning is stopping when it is merely a little bit
dizzy.

I'll preface this with a statement that I did carpentry work for a bunch of
years....

I have often said, a carpenter makes sawdust. An artist knows when to stop.

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

you know, I actually do this. Well, the lathe keeps turning the only
direction it knows how, but I take the object off the right side of the
headstock and put it on the left end, so the direction is reversed. (a
Shopsmith) Is good for sanding, first one way, and then the other. keeps the
wood happy.

In my case, I am fortunate in a flick of a switch I can go from
6,000RPM one way to 6,000 RPM the other, but I would swear the sanded
finish is better.
