Default New Turning Material Ideas

Plastic lasts longer. Limestone requires carbide skews.
Massive amounts of bulk plastic out there now.

I don't think the deck plastic plank is worth anything. It is like
fiberboard and must be supported.

Oh - and ice. Think of the possibilities - but you'dneed to turn
in a freezer - or be able to turn really really quickly. Gallery
spots could be a problem as well - brie hardens at low temp
and wine has a lower limit when it comes to serving temperatures
- although really cold champagne is quite nice - in a frosted
champagne glass.
