As you will notice in the video below, I used The Little Torch by Smith and started on the end of the duck call barrel closest to the lathe headstock/4 jaw chuck.  I held the torch tip just close enough so that the blue tip of the flame touched the duck call barrel.  Once I started, I continued to the end of the barrel using a steady and constant speed.  I then barely touched the torch tip to the end of the barrel in order to polish it and then proceeded to polish the inside, again using a steady and constant speed.

I have also included a picture of an acrylic duck call barrel after it was flame polished.  Again, the video tutorial below shows the entire acrylic flame polishing process.  More information regarding The Little Torch by Smith can be viewed in our “Tool Discussions” section.
