Martin-IT Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 Anyone with experience with basswood for turning ? I know it is commonly use for carving, how well does it turn ? It will be for pieces that will be painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted January 3, 2019 Report Share Posted January 3, 2019 So soft that it tears quite easily. Use plenty of wood filler and sandpaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes gets fuzzy if you use anything less than scary sharp lathe tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
