I have a customer that who has requested me to make some pens out of Sitka Spruce. I have never turned them before but the wood looks kind of bland to me. Has anyone ever tried turning it? What was your experience with it? I have read that it has is too soft to make pens out of it but then again there are pen blanks of it for sale here:

Sitka Spruce ranges from cream/white to yellow. It has a fine, even texture, and consistently straight grain. Sitka Spruce is easy-to-work-with and glues and finishes well.
