Hey, got a pen turning book for Christmas from the wife. It talks about using Tagua nuts for ivory-like inlays, segments, etc.
Can anyone speak to how soft or hard Tagua nuts are? Do they hold up to use - or wear faster than the hardwoods we use?
The book talks about CA'ing them to chucked up wood dowels for turning purposes. Anyone know a reason not to just butt-glue them to a dowel for turning like the book suggests? What about supporting the opposite end with a live center?
Thoughts or advice?
