I have about a ton of mulberry around after Charlie and Frances
I am new to turning. THought this might be free wood. Also alot of oak
mostly for turning. Can it be turned green. I would like to get me a
supply before it is removed from the roadsides.
Great wood for turning, easy and pretty. Get some end sealer
today nad use it liberally. You may need to cut back the ends so
the cracks are gone before you seal it. Green woods need to be
sealed immediately after cutting to let them dry properly, Don't
waste any time protecting the wood that you can get. Grab the
Rosewood and the Mahogany as well as the Norfolk Island Pine. ANY
free wood is good wood.
