Hey Glenn, judging by what's happened to some good threads lately, I
figure some turners may have tried to eat a green persimmon.

Thanks Charles for introducing a new (for me) alternative to spinning
for making open form copper vessels. A technique to think about
combining with woodturning or just to know about. The responses led to
some good info re strength of the woods we turn.

Not sure re their compression resistance, but dry pecan and dry
Australian pine aren't weaklings.
