Finally got in some practice time with the lathe tonight after I bought the right size roughing gouge at a flea market (used, but sharp and a great price). The set of tools I bought when I got the lathe are for miniature work. Oops, but I'll probably use them. I took a square 2x2 and roughed it into a round 2x2-ish piece. Neat!

Now if anyone says I could have saved $200.00 by buying a round piece of wood in the first place, they get punched.
