Hi fellas, I'm new to turning wood, and new to the forum as well. I'm looking for some advice on a piece of purpleheart I've come across. Its 12"x12"x8". I'm curious as to how it turns, what to watch out for, etc. I'm thinking of doing a full blank size bowl, but also wondering if that would be a waste of wood. I don't have coring capabilities, but it is very possible that someone in the local club might. Thanks for the help.
