<><> The object in question, which no longer exists in this form,
is a fully functional clarinet barrel. The tenon sockets and the bore
had been totally machined, less final polishing, but I did nothing to
the exterior. I find this to be expedient. If I screw up the bore,
there's no point in shaping the elegant "pear" shape of the barrel.

Well.... now you have a number of practical and valuable
suggestions for uses of the block, and therefore you should leave your
next barrel untrimmed. <grin>
