One bit of advise I would give is use Alumilite and carbide cutting tools. Make sure they are sharp and turn it like any other wood piece.I have been watching your exploration and progress in turning these small boxes, and itv is looking good. Your boxes are very appealing as you incorporate the resin into the designs. I expect you learn as you turn, and I look forward to doing the same with this type of turning. Any tips for someone soon to try this same type of work?
