Follow this link to a page with some pictures, one of which is a magnolia
vase I turned.

It turns beautifully, has a distinctive smell, thats not offensive (musky),
and has a beautiful contrast between the sap (cream to grey) and the heart
(dark brown to black)

Good luck,

Anyone ever turned magnolia. I have a piece from the root ball and was
wondering how it would turn.

Thanks
