So my daughter (9 y.o.) is going through a Harry Potter phase and asked me to turn her a magic wand. I'm using some 16 inch long rosewood scraps, but I can't figure out how to turn it thin enough to be "magic-wand-like" without it chattering. Is it possible to turn long-ish thin-ish objects without a steady rest and not have to sand out serious chatter marks??
Input/suggestions/how-to advice would be appreciated.
