Working on plywood

Layers of roughly cut plywood glued together. Ready to be milled

I have learned, that when milling, the chuck (the base disc that is attached to the lathe) and the rest of the milled body has to align or otherwise the work won't level. 

Milling in process

The metal did not meet the wood exactly, as my cylinder is handmade and the plywood part is machine operated. I had to take the whole piece back on the lathe to even it out.
