How to Turn an Egg
By Curtis Turner
Round Rock, TX
With Easter right around the corner, we thought we would rerun this 'Classic Curtis Turner' column on how he turns an egg on the lathe.
One benefit of turning wooden eggs is the sheer practice of tool control it requires of the turner. Yes, the first few eggs will be a scrambled mix of mistakes. (Sorry, I couldn't resist the pun.) But at least you are practicing with small bits of wood, and not wasting larger blanks.

Sorby Stebcentre
The Stebcentre's spring-loaded center point allows you to set your workpiece in place (or remove it) while the lathe is turning. Your workpiece spins when you increase tailstock pressure and the Stebcentre's teeth bite into the wood. With light pressure it will drive your work, but allow it to stop if you have a catch, minimizing damage to your workpiece. With increased pressure it will power through even the heaviest cuts. Fits #2 MT headstock spindle.
