I bought a Poplar burr from someone who was giving up woodturning
Tried to turn it today - it is the driest piece of wood I've come across. I don't know if it was oven dried but this thing is like a biscuit.
The wood is tearing even using very sharp tools, light cuts and trying different speeds.
Any suggestions on how to turn this biscuit?
It is 8" diameter by 4.5" deep
