Hi all,
Tomorrow I'm cutting down a couple of hazel trees for a friend who is letting me take what I like from them. From the quick glance I had today they don't look too substantial but should get a few decent branches for some spindle turning.
Has anyone used Hazel and if so what's it like for turning?
Whilst I'm here I'd also like to ask about sealing the ends of the wood. I know sometimes it's wax that's used, but is it normal beeswax melted down and poured on? And what other products are there for sealing the wood ends and where can I buy them (online surpliers only please as I live in France)?
Thanks for any help or advice given Froggy.
