I finally did it. I ordered my first lathe. Should have it in a couple of weeks (I'll add photos then). I know one can get wood from just about anywhere, but in the middle of winter I was wondering what is the best type and easiest obtainable practice wood for the beginning turner. I'll start with spindle work. Is it just easiest to get some chunks of dried hardwood from Lowes or something like that? Or should I be looking somewhere else? What type of wood would be best for the beginner as well......???
Thanks
