I have aquired a 3' log of pine with a lovely looking grain that could be worth turning. I have tirned a few things out of dried pine and they were OK but problem I have is this log is oozing resin at the moment. Smells wonderful and is reminscient of the stuf I used to use to plank boats with but not come across it in quite this raw state before.
Is it worth hanging on to for turning or not.
I am imagining turning it and having to spend ages tring to clean my tools and lathe of sticky sap. I have a wood burner so it won't be totally wasted. As I am a skinflint who only uses wood that he can salvage, scrounge or find I am loath to burn it unless really necessary. :-k
