New to penturning so I need some advise.
I get maple cut offs from a local cabinet maker. Some have really nice figure.
I tried making a few pens and the wood stained dark on each end.
I suspected metal from the bushing getting into the pores.
I tried using Minwax wood hardener and it helped some.
(I am not currently setup to stabilize wood yet).
Would a sanding sealer help?
Different bushing for sanding/finishing??
What am I missing here ???
Thanks Y'all
