Another question guys, I have an old turner freind who I visited for some beginners tips and advice (and to purchase chisels!!!!!!) and was blown away by his knowledge and photos of gallery pieces and previous work ( which is displayed in the del mano exhibition this month).
Any ways my question is he said you need two things!
1) the right tool for the job
2) the right wood for the job
This got me thinking what types of wood suit which projects best? I know as a rule you can turn any wood for any job but I was keen to hear others opinions on this as I am still pretty new and this wood spinny stuff lol
I currently have some lilac, cherry, mahogany, oak, and some fresh walnut chopped down from a freinds approx 3 months ago ( my freind assures me that is only good for 2 things also, the better of the 2 being the fire pit lol) any suggestions on projects for these would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
