Hi, new to the forum and very first post.
A friend has had an extremely large (read bloody huge) Rain Tree trimmed and there are numerous logs. I have an old lathe from my grandfather that I intend to start turning and was wondering if anyone has turned this timber before and will it be ok? Idea was for some legs for a kitchen trolley/mobile bench style.
Also, I have done a little bit of turning a few years ago and would like to get a basic set of chisels to start on without too much outlay. Any ideas what to get and where would be greatly appreciated. I will try and use the search function on the site but there are a lot! of threads...
Cheers,
Chews.
