Crafting A Custom Walnut Handle Crochet Hook!

Hey guys.
So an exciting week. I bought a mini lathe and got to try it out by turning a piece of walnut for a crochet hook handle. Obviously not perfect but it was pretty passable straight off the lathe and only required a bit of clean up and polish. I decided to do the polishing in something like "real time" (edited about four minutes of grinding out) to show how I finish this kind of handle.
