Small lathe with manual carriage for wood

[Johnny Woods]

I need a little help with a search for a small lathe. Mainly for small wooden knobs and pulls. I've looked over several but haven't run across a small wood lathe that has a cross slide/carriage. Many out there for metal, but I'm not sure about turning wood on a metal lathe.

Only looking for about 12" between centers and a 3" swing will be plenty. The manual carriage will just make it easier for me to get consistency. Anyone have a recommendation?

I've got an Oliver #51 for anything else I might need :D

Suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
Johnny

The Sherline lathe can be used on both wood and metal.The Taig lathe can also be used on both .The Woodwrite lathe that was sold with a power feed for pen making is a Taig lathe that was rebranded.I use a Sherline lathe with the carbide cutters and hss cutters on corian and deer antler to make pens.Check out ebay for used Sherline lathes.
