I'm an experienced wood worker but have not used a lathe much since high school (25 years ago).
What is a good wood to use to start learning to turn?
Material I have readily available - Pine, Cherry, Walnut, Maple, Tiger Maple, Yellow Hart, Paduak.
Would I be wasting my time or run into issues using inexpensive pine to learn the basics and get familiar with the lathe.
All the Best
