Some, ok two, of you might recall my newly discovered signature objects

Norfolk Is. pine spindles. I was really proud of my unique approach to
fine art til someone who shall be nameless, mentioned that the up-turned
branches add a sort of phallic look that I wasn't striving for. We
artists are horribly driven and we expect to suffer for the sake of our
art, however I'm seriously considering resigning to become a simple
woodturner again.
I can't see the d... branches even at low rpm and I've had so many
scrapes and bruises lately that neosporin and band-aids have become a
significant expense of my atelier work. I had hoped to recoup from sales
to collectors, trophy wives, and other well pursed types, but so far, it
hasn't happened.

I suggest attaching day-glo tape to the protruding branch nubs.
Either tightly, or let 'em trail out a couple of inches.
