It's nothing much to look at, but it's my first real attempt at working with green oak, and it taught me a thing or two. One of which is that you shouldn't leave green oak on the chuck overnight, as it will start corrosion straight away. Another is that green wood sprays moisture all over the place as it's being turned, and you have to clean that off the ways or else they'll rust from it.
Dry oak can be very dusty to work on the lathe, but green oak has many issues of its own. I don't think I'm a great fan.
