Anybody turn any Ginko Wood before? I got a whole tree just curious
what others turned and what their experiences were with it. I have
turned a couple bowls with it and plan to really dig into it and turn
rough outs this week/weekend. I have read about some different
turnings people did and uses but curious if any had first hand
experience on the list. Thanks!

Took a turning class this summer, and the instructor gave my a piece to
try. It's fairly soft -- not quite balsa, probably not as hard as
basswood. Very even color, very little grain, prone to tear-out on end
grain cuts.

If I can remember how, I'll put some images on ABPW.
