Retired (71) and started this......FUN in January this year. Still learning....especially what types of material are good and not-so-good. I had 4 stabilized box elders blow on me today, but was able to repair/glue and move on 3 hours later. I love the look of the stabilized, but it is very unpredictable.....hard/soft spots....chips....blowouts. Oh well.....part of the learning process.:confused:

Welcome to the madness! There is a lot of fun and useful information here.

If you like the stabilized blanks and continue to use them, you'll want to look up member, Monty. He sells terrific CA glue at very good pricing. When I turn stabilized blanks, I end up with more cost in CA glue than in the blank.

For me, when turning stabilized blanks, thin CA is an absolute necessity.
 
Welcome rwilkins, from far west Kentucky, to the addiction, sometimes referred to as the vortex. Be sure to give the library a good bit of time. The link is at the top of the page. You will find an article called Library Index. This covers tutorials on about anything pen making you can think of. You will also notice that there are articles listed by year. Much good info there as well. When these fail to answer your questions, by all means post it here. I have never seen one go unanswered very long. Grab some wood, make some shavings and have fun all the while being safe.
