My stepson (23) is here for the holiday and I introduced him to turning last night..
He picked a chunk of firewood off the pile, I set it up and got it about 50" round and not wobbling to bad, and he went for it.. *g*
I have no idea what kind of wood this is, but it's exotic looking... I've never seen white go through the grain like this before, any idea what type of wood it might be?
The bark looked like a thin version of pine or fir... it's NOT what I'd call hardwood, but from the little turning I did on it and a bit of sanding help, it works harder that pine, but not like oak or anything like that..
