I found a source That I can get some cypress recovered from a sunken schooner. Working on a ship I thought it would be nice to make everyone in the engineroom a pen made from it for Christmas. The question is, what is cypress like to turn and can it even be turned. Also what extra things would you have to do to turn it, i.e. special tools or procedures. The place that I am wanting to buy from specializes in exotic flooring and furniture so the wood should be good quality.
What do you all think, should I buy a board of it or not.
Thanks
