Using an Antique South Bend Lathe to Turn Large 300# Wagon Hubs

This is lathing the rough round oak blocks to their finished size. Although these hubs are retaining more moisture than ideal, it was decided to complete these hubs and deal with the shrinkage as they continue to dry. They have dropped from 40% to about 28% at this stage. Thanks for watching!
