You helped me so much finding a lathe that now I have a new question (or two)
How do you keep your tools sharp? I have a white grinding wheel but am scared that it will be like my sharpening carving knives - I blunt them :(
What native trees can I cut up to get wood for turning?
Can the wood from a boab tree be turned?
It is humid here from Nov - Mar so should I just leave the wood lying on the concrete verandah? Can't very well drag it into the dining room.
Can I use the fallen branches from a African Mahogony (have one in back yard)
