Willow "slice"
 

Hi,

I have a "slice" from a willow tree. I am hoping to turn it for the
experience. It is fully dry as it has sat in a garage for over 6 years.

The surfaces has cuts from the chainsaw that are about 1/4-1/2 inch deep. I
am looking for any information on how to go about turning it. I see much
posted about turning wood "wet" or green, this slab is bone dry. Are there
any special tools to use for end grain?

Any help would be appreciated.
