In aqddition to being free, easy to turn, and the possibility of getting a
wider variety, there is another aspect - FUN. One can shoot the shavings
clear across the shop!

I'm new to turning and people are always commenting about turning green
wood. Why not regular kiln dried / air dried wood? Does the moisture
help
to keep the turned piece from splitting apart?

Someone told me to get a 4x4 cedar port from the Borg and practice on
chunks
of that. Is that a good or bad idea?

Thanks
Rob
