I said it was an excellent wood for turning, not that you'd be excellent at turning the wood : )I must really suck, ‘cause I’ve been playing with it and it’s kicking my butt. Probably trying to teach myself coupled with only having a 6” belt to sharpen the cheap used tools that came with it doesn’t help![]()
When my neighbor gave me his lathe I sucked at it too, in fact, I still suck at it.
Stick with it, you'll get there, and you'll be making fancy balusters for the chicken coop in no time.
