I have used it in segmented turnings and it seems to work well for me with
sharp tools.

I have not tried turning bowls or platers out of bloodwood yet so I do not
know how well it turns for that purpose.

Any ever try to do much with this stuff other than pens? I did a couple
decent spindle turnings that were ok, then tried a platter. What a mess.
Dry wood, newly sharpened tools, but huge chipouts and hard as hell to
cut. Anyne have anyone idea?
