I would stay away from branch wood and unseasoned lumber. I did that once and ended up with lots of splits & cracks after it dried.

Sir, a question …
Sir, a question please. If you had Maple limb stock (I’m not sure if thats a word or not… ) but say a bit of 5 inch limb, could you cut that, insert the dowels, glue and turn? So that you didn’t have to do the bandsaw triming of excess wood, and then work all the squareness off of the piece?
Be nice everybody else.. I am a complete rookie at this.. LOL
Thanks in advance.

Now that was cool, many of us out here have the modern lathe set ups. I love yours the modern ones out here now days you can barely do any left hand cuts.

Is the cylinder head going to be made from Al, iron, steel etc..? Thanks again Joseph T (fly2000jtb)

Very interesting. I use high speed tool bits on my wood lathe because they give a very clean and controlled cut freehand and are marvellous for roughing wood down because they hold an edge for ages.
