Tough job, this, and finding a way to make a stand up prop, eventually defeated my attempt to make the perfect surforeno.

I usally always cut a slot in larger pieces , cut my stock in half, saw the slot down thw middle of the 2 pcs. and then carefully glue up w/ titebond 2and clamp and set overnite. then when you turn set your lathe centers in the holes on each end, alttle more work but if you do a bunch a whole lot less headache than trying to drill perfect thru the center.
