If I'd had some on hand, I likely would have. Right now I'm mostly using welding stock from Lowe's. I have a whole bunch of nice 1" and 1/2" square stock now, but it's coated in a lead based primer that I have yet to deal with. That's my next project, if only to be able to use the larger sections to make some hardie tools. Using a cutoff chisel by yourself leaves a lot to be desired.
Actually, it's probably for the best I used round. I noticed as I was drawing out the spirally bit that it was twisting in the process. That would have been pretty ugly on square stock.
