Well i had to get there in the end...i cut the blank 3mm over size and used a disc sander to trim and to true i did as suggested and turned my barrel trimmer into a sanding disc20160323_163954.jpg
The client asked if i could make a curly maple, a dark blue and this one so he could choose which looked better in the flesh...he still couldn't decide so took all 3:thumbs:

That's a success to be proud of. Inlace is very difficult to turn. Over the years, I've only had a couple successes with it. The last time, I used 100 grit dry to shape it.
