Default Douglas Fir difficulty

I'll have to go with Earl on this-- have turned a lot of eastern Cedar
(aeromatic) mostly in stave form. Use really sharp tools. It helps to
have the buffing wheel charged with sharpening compound to touch up the
tool from time to time too. BTW, there are some really fine comments
on Scary Sharp over in the rec.woodworking group - do a search on scary
sharp.
