Mounted it into the lathe using the chuck faceplate it was fairly uneven so rather than use the drive and prongs went with this method.
I used a really sharp bowl gouge to take off some timber then switched to my homemade carbide chisel. I rough shaped it and then finished it off with a old sanding belt ive got lying around.

Added Lichtenberg figures using the MOT, it took a while and many soakings to get it to burn. I would have thought with it having spent time in the sea it would be saturated with salts but it doesnt appear to be the case and i had to do numerous wettings, getting it to travel up the neck was quite a challenge.

Drilled it out and inserted a test tube so i can put an actual live flower in it with water to keep fresh.

No splitting or cracking yet although it was about 6 months from going to the beach and actually getting it onto the lathe.

Music with thanks!

Use a wet sponge on your drywall. Skip the sanding and sponge drywall seams instead. If you practice, you can use a wet sponge as effectively as using sandpaper. Sponging doesn’t create tons of dust like sanding does, either.
