Laundry and Dish Detergent?... I give up, what's LDD?

Leif just answered that one, and I agree about the ratio being
important as well as the re-immersing and finshing immediately
upon stopping the lathe. Deb is right about all wood making
shavings, but Oak unless wet is messier than most woods and Osage
Orange, unless wet is VERY hard. That's why I don't think they
make good beginner woods. Pine is OK, and KD will cut easier than
AD, but if you have good wood that's fresh available, I wouldn't
wast the glue unless you are experimenting with segmented
turning. Just my opinion, everyone has at least one, YMMV.
Poplar and maple are easy to start on and Walnut, wear resp
protection, is gorgeous. Have fun.
