- ugh, misfire quote above.Apologies all.
- winged pieces never get smooth on the wing either inside or outside as you are mostly cutting 'air' and making a smooth tool transition from wing to wing is nigh on impossible. Maybe Raffan could do it, but thats not me for sure ...... <g> Sadly, hand sanding <and usually lots of it> is the only way <for me> to get a good smooth finish on the wings.

I'm not a great turner and have never attemted anything with wings but a thought did come to mind on the sanding issue. Would a angle grinder with a flap sanding disk work?
Dave and Bill, it can be done, but the leading edges will always get more sanding than the trailing edges. I just did one a few minutes ago, but stopped my interior sanding when I got to air. Then, hand sanding. It gives you incentive to get better with your gouges..... Jerry (in Tucson)
