This was a Goonies blank from Turners Warehouse. It was very hard to turn, felt like end grain. I'm guessing it's douglas fir. Looks like maybe I didn't have enough epoxy in it. It's for a Dennis pen, and one end is slightly smaller. Everything was going well, until I started shaping. That's when things went terribly, horribly wrong. I was able to get two blanks from the piece of wood, so I'll try again. I used stronger 30 minute epoxy on the second piece, and a lot more of it. Maybe I'll use a sandpaper skew for shaping this time.
