I usually knock the corners off before I start, but you don't have to….the machine will ask to round it for you.
4x4 is kind of large for a cane shaft blank. I started with 1.5 x 1.5.
I have only made one cane on the rotary and probably won't do another. I will most likely do a two sided carve so the cane shaft is all one piece.
It is a real challenge getting the pieces drilled properly for connecting.
