I have tried to turn some burl pen sections, and having a very difficult time. I have a good sharp tools, but the wood is so brittle, that it just blows out before I get to the diameter that I want, I am wondering why I am having only thin dust on my table. I have found that I can only scrape with my gouge, or skew. It takes forever to get a sizeable pen blank turned. Any advice would be appreciated.
