I'm really new to turning and pens both. I turned a pen in a class at Woodcraft and followed it up with a seam ripper for my wife. Now I'm trying a second seam ripper using a blank of Coolibah burl, and the blank is rotating pretty freely around my mandrel. I don't think cranking down the knurled nut will help, and might make the thing spin eccentric, so what else can I try?
My tools are probably less-than-optimally sharp, so that maybe a factor too. I can, however, spun the blank when mounted freehand with no effort.
Thanks!
