Re: Stuck barrel

Very little wood is removed from the high spots and that will be the difference between the barrel fitting well and binding, so have it done by the best repairer in your area as they'll know where and how much wood to remove instead of just bunging it in a lathe and removing too much.

The worst thing you can ever do in this situation is have your teacher or anyone else take sandpaper to the tenon as that often ends up in tears and you're left with a rocking barrel
