So far my pen turning experience has been limited to plain slimlines using plain wood blanks and finishing with Deft. After being given a couple of Americanas(?) by Ernie Nyvall, my wife decided she wanted some fancier pens. She picked out some Euros at the Woodcraft store in Spokane on our way home from Houston. I decided "Why not" and ordered some stabilized wood blanks...mainly burls from CSUSA. Are there any tricks or do you have any advice about turning these stabilized blanks? Any out of the ordinary finishing techniques or advice?
Any advice on turning Euros or working or finishing with stabilized wood blanks would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
