I'm just getting started in turning pens, and I'd apprreciate a little advice on the best wood to learn with. I've made a few with Walnut, and they turned ouit pretty good, but I know I have a lot to learn. I'm not ready to try mastering a CA finish, so I'm using a friction polish finish for now.
Are there other woods that are easy to learn with, and will look good with a polish finish? Many of the unique blanks I've looked at in Rockler or Woodcraft have small voids or look like they could chip, so a CA finish would be needed.
Thanks!
