Turning Balsa Wood

<< < (2/2)

john taylor:
You can turn it using a very sharp skew and very light cuts, or 60 grit abrasive works well.   I have turned a couple of mushrooms in the past just to see if it could be done.

Anything but a very sharp skew ripped lumps out of it so I mainly used the 60 grit gouge.

Hi John DS/John T/Paul/Dr4gfly
Many thanks for your reply, very informative sites. Makes you wonder why the chap does not buy his own mini lathe.

Hi Roger How are the Fishing Floats going? Regards john

Roger Groom:
Still waiting for the chap to come round with the blanks etc. I'll let you know how I get on, if I get on.
