My light pull was boxwood Dean it is a bit like ivory to look at it turns up like glass. I was reading i think in Ians books that turners do not put anything on boxwood.

Same here Ben this was day two of my turning career. I have been collecting nice bits of wood and thought this could be a winter hobby for me. It is a stress reliever i was so chilled i nearly fell asleep:lol: I also tried carving a figure of a dog but that is not worthy of a picture:001_smile:
