For a long time, I was hesitant to try TruStone as a blank material.
When I did try TruStone, I found it to be not as difficult as I had expected and I really like the results.
But TruStone has become rather expensive, so I am wondering about alternatives.
I tried FauxStone and am not happy with it because the colors are somewhat dull compared to TruStone. . Also, it seems that the heat generated in turning causes the colors to lighten considerably even though I am turning at only about 400 rpm and taking very light cuts of 0.002" or less (metal working lathe). . Furthermore, FauxStone does not seem to shine up as well as TruStone.
Please tell me about your experience with FauxStone and any other alternatives that are available. . I would also like to know where to buy any alternative XxxxStone blanks, please.
