Hello folks, I am new to turning and I have a couple of questions.
1. I picked up a couple of pieces of Thuya Burl and Desert Iron Wood and I am looking for a large diameter Pen and Pencil set to show off the grain in these. What are some of the better quality sets that show a lot of the wood up to about the $20 range?
2. In considering on how to finish these very dense woods what should I check out? Is just polishing the 12000 grit something to consider or is there a finish that will make the grain really pop out?
Thanks
