Is nobody else intrigued by the dispenser pump on a Listerine bottle?

When I'm struggling with a problem it helps me to explain it to my dog. It's great for me to hear it out loud and if he's paying attention, I've got a needlessly learned dog!
What a nice workshop you've made; it has such character. I especially like the salmon push stick!
Beautiful work!

Your comment and username have made my day so far.
I've got no lathing tips for you because I've only used a lathe once and I'm more of a carver but you've done a great job there for a first attempt! For the finish I'd recommend smoothing it out with some 240 grit sandpaper, cleaning it off with white spirits or similar then giving it a couple of coats of Danish or boiled linseed oil. The grain will look absolutely beautiful.
Be sure to post an update photo!
Playful and descriptive!
