Hey so I am very new to pen turning and I have been trying different types of wood to try and the other day I tried out some Black Palm. I cut it is half and then the first one drilling it out popped and split. So I was more careful on the second half and drilled it out ok, but then as I started to rough it round it popped and split on one side as well. Any tips on working with this? I saw on bad dog burl source he has some stabilized black palm blanks and thought maybe those would work better.
Also has anyone ever tried gluing something like that back together and try turning it again? What do you think?
