First green log to finished tool project. Many thanks to the Association of Pole-Lathe Tuners and Green Woodworkers, and in particular Andy, who patiently guided this seasoned wood worker through the process. If you haven't worked green wood, or tried a pole-lathe before, check out http://www.bodgers.org.uk and find an event near you.
