The local community center has a fund raiser by repurposing bowling pins into other objects. My wife thought this looked life FUN project so she got one for me to turn into something for them. The old pins have thick plastic coating over the wood has anyone worked with bowling pins on wood lathe? I was concerned about turning the plastic off it looks might be very grabby? I do not need to reinvent the process if someone else has been there. Thanks for input.
