I turn anything. If I think I can get something from a piece of wood on the

should be more selective but I don`t know, what do ye think?

Everyone is different, that's what makes it interesting..

For years, I thought you had to buy kiln dried blanks to turn stuff... Then I
tried firewood and never went back..

Cracked? Pithy? knots?
that's character... and what folks like to buy..
