waxed blanks
Another newb question - just picked up some wood blanks to practice on -
they are sealed in wax. should I remove the wax first or will the turning process handle that. If I have to remove it, what is the best way? It doesn't look like it would peel off. Thanx, Vic -- There are 10 kinds of people - those who understand binary and those who don't |

Thanx, Vic just mount the blanks on your faceplate and turn, ignore the wax, the first cuts will remove it. it is there to slow the drying so the wood doesn't split |
