Why anyone would want to try and turn a straight pin out of wood? To see if I could. Not quite there, but got down to less than 1/32" in diameter - over about an inch and a quarter. Think I can go even smaller.
Fun challenge. If you want to give it a go, this info, and the link to my YouTube video showing the technique may be of use.
