Well I tried turning a leapordwood pen this morning. Has anyone else used this wood before? It seemed to just splinter away even when using a scraper. I had to use a lot of thin CA b/c I felt it would blowout at any moment. There was even a shallow black void about a 1/16" wide that I filled with CA. I was able to get it nice and smooth by starting with 150 grit and moving up.
Here are my questions:
1. I used compressed air to blow out all the dust. In the black void I described above it looks like some of the CA glue dried white. Should I try and rub some acetone to get it out and then try again?
2. Does acetone eat away the wood or break it down?
Thanks in advance.
