Is it me or what but I find turning burr blanks slightly frustrating.
I turned a Thuya burr this morning to put on a Marksman Eagle fountain pen. I finished turning and sanded down to 6000 grit before putting on CA. I stopped the lathe to inspect the wood only to find a small piece had chipped off!!!!! This is not the first time this has happened with a burr and to then strip the barrels to put on a different blank.
Am I doing something wrong or do others have this problem?????
