It turned easily but I had a problem with the transition between the yucca and the Bloodwood because of the hardness difference. It is a rather figureless wood so maybe it is better used as an accent instead of the main event.
I've made a few YUK pens but not a yucca pen. But now I have a yucca blank and I'm looking forward to using it. Thanks Kelly.
Do a good turn daily!
