The thing this thread points out is that some people are totally successful
with woods that others consider useless and unworkable. Don't let anyone
tell you to only use such and such wood OR finish OR lathe OR tool OR drying
protocol OR sales method,etc.

Experiment and you may find yourself doing the impossible!

Interesting that everyone hates it.
I have only done three pieces of oak (one red and two white), but they cut
easily with no tear out at all. Maybe I should quit while I am ahead.
