G'day All,
I was playing around with a Redgum burl/knob the other day and found that it had some dry rot on some immature light timber (have never seen Redgum with dry rot before) so I gave it a liberal dose of thin C.A. and came back to it next day. My Hamlet gouge that I had been using on it with no problems now would not touch it - couldn't even start a cut. Sharpened all of my gouges to satisfaction and could only get 15 -20 seconds worth before they were too blunt to continue :? . Never come across this before but then I have never used so much C.A. before on one piece.
Anyone else found this?
Thanks,
Bruce.
