I just completed my first burl pen. It was a cigar pen and it was a piece of stabilized Sapelle Pomelle. Man it turned out nice, but dang those are exspensive, $10.00 at Woodcraft. My question is: How much harder are unstabilized burls to turn?

I just didn't know if I should go that direction yet. Sounds like it is probably time to give them a shot. It'll save me some money. Funny though, No sooner do I post this topic and a possible group buy comes up for stabilized wood. Man, I'm really starting to love this stuff.
