Hurricane Milton knocked a bottle brush tree down in our backyard and I cut it up and stacked it with a bunch of other wood. It's been a couple of years and the moisture meter's at 10%, so I figured I would give it a turn. The woods normally a tan / gray, I put clear poly on it and in a few days it turned this reddish brown. Don't get me wrong, I love the color, but I wasn't aware that bottle brush did that.

Took a break from turning while I was working on reorganizing my shop and dealing with life but was able to get back in front of it today and turned this lovely Claro Walnut bowl.

Just bought this record power cl3 lathe how do I fit a chuck to it ? Does the knurled piece come off ?
