I'm not sure whether this question belongs here, or in the "casting & stabilization" forum, but I'll try here first.
I was lucky enough to get some spalted maple (unstabilized), and I have a number of other spalted and/or figured blanks (also dry but not stabilized). I'm thinking of sending them to one of our sponsors for stabilization (but no dyeing).
How difficult are they to turn after they've been stabilized? Am I going to be trading turning soft, somewhat spongy stuff to turning rock-hard, chippy stuff?
Thanks!
