I just watched a you-tube video of Charles Neal boring a hole with a forstner bit into the end grain of what looked like a 4x4 that he would later turn for part of a bed post. Can anyone tell me how one sets it into the lathe for turning with a 1" hole in the center of one end?

No, he doesn't glue it. It looks like he's using a live center in the video. In another video he turned the piece around and using a dowel tenon in the hole, he chucked it in the lathe chuck.
