...who has turned "Oosik"?

[Rudy Vey]

Who has turned Oosik? Can you give me any idea how it turns and what to expect. My turning would be larger than for a pen, more like a bottle stopper.
Is is really hard? Solid material, or does it have voids?
Let me know and if there are any tricks.

Kind of on the soft side, you can get into voids, near the middle, polishes great,does not need a finish. Outstanding color, smells like burnt hair, and NEVER tell the customer what it is, it will break when they drop it on the floor.
