So, there are many new members here whom I don't know and who don't know me. I obviously haven't been very active lately, but I still read the threads. For those who don't know, I am trying to get into the architectural turning business, along with any and all forms of turning.
I finally got a decent size job (I have been doing a lot of little replacement parts for furniture repair). I was hired to make parts for a bed sold online so the customer could make her own.
I learned a lot, as I really haven't done long spindle work much. For those who may attempt it, don't turn a piece in split sessions. I was dumb enough to try it, and the wood moved/warped on me. You can see the Bondo on the one rung. Good thing it's paint grade!!
Overall, I am very happy with the outcome even though I am very disappointed about the Bondo issue.

P.S. The first picture is what I was asked to use as the model.
