Glad I am not the only one regards Polyester Blanks....
They remind me of seaside rock, I’ve never turned polyester but they look good to me

Imagine turning (what looks like) a solid Stick of Resin for the chisel to suddenly rip right through creating a cloud of dust
PM me your address and I will happily send you a piece (enough to do a Sierra or similar).
You have to give it a try just to find out how bad it really is

I just hate the stuff and am quite happy to look at other peoples.
I have ventured onto the dark side a couple of times, and each time reminds me to never go there again.
