O.K. I got the teak decking from the USS California. Is there anything special I need to know before turning it. I cut one pen blank out of the board, but when I was turning it I got careless and cracked the blank to the point it was unusable. So even though I admit the error was all mine, is there anything special I should do to turn this stuff. Should I turn it slow, fast, Ludicrous speed, the wood seems somewhat soft or at least not as dense as I thought old deck wood would be.
