Hi All, I got this pepperwood tree from a neighbor down the street. It looked freshly cut so I brought it home and made a couple of blanks, chucked one up and started shaping it. I left it on the lathe, had some lunch, came back about 2 hours later and she split all over the place. My question is should I try to save it? Is there such a thing? Can I CA all the cracks and keep on turning? Or is it just custom fire wood?
Thanks for the input,
Later,
