I feel like I've gotten good enough with woods and acrylics that I'm ready to tackle the next big pen medium. I've seen a lot of nice Tru-Stone pens out there, and I'd like to ask all of the experienced turners what I need to know before learning with Tru-Stone.
For example, are standard tools acceptable, or do I need special tools? What is the best turning speed? Are some forms or blanks of Tru-Stone easier to turn than others? What is the best finishing method?
Anything you can think of is welcome. Thanks in advance for your help.
