it turned easily for me - it's california bay laurel by the way, they call
it Myrtle in Oregon to make it sound special

if you are getting a lot of tearout either your tools aren't really sharp,
or your presentation of the tool to the wood is flawed, or there is
something wrong with the piece of wood (rotten, etc)
