    "Trying to rectify our mistakes"

    Rather than hijack Alan's thread on "squaring the end of pen blanks". Following a disscuion with Phil ( which I'm not tech enabled to copy over Phils reply?)

    Two boxes

    Two boxes turned today the spalted one was very punky so a good soak in thinned sander sealer and left to dry before turning did the trick along with some very sharp tools. Many people ask about turning punky wood and this shows it can be done. The second is American Black Walnut the lid it...
