Hi groovers,
As some of you may have seen in my other thread the purchase of a lathe is imminent.
So anyway, about a year ago I was at a mates house and he had the fire going. He asked me to go and get an extra couple pieces of wood from the bag of wood out back. I couldn't believe my eyes at what I pulled out. This beautiful big piece of red coloured wood. Weighed about 10kgs and didn't appear to have any cracking or splitting. As I have wanted a lathe for many many years I straight away fell in love with this piece of wood and didn't want to let my friend burn it *sigh*.
So anyway, long ramble short, if you needed a "quick fix" is it feasable to go and buy a bag of that red firewood at the local service station, or am I really showing my inexperience badly here?
