My wife and I were visiting our daughter up in Richmond this weekend. While here, I went to the David Ellsworth presentation on Saturday (which was great), and also picked up some nice turning stock.
Not knowing any better, I put the spindles in my suitcase to carry home. Note that I did not check my bags. When I went through security, the spindle blanks were pulled and I was told that I could check my bag but the blanks were considered clubs and couldn't go through. I don't know if it only applies to spindle blanks or if bowl blanks or logs would also be considered clubs, but it was a lesson learned.
Has anyone run into any issues like this with finished wood?
Thanks....Dave
