Sierra with palm wood

[yorkshireman]

I'd forgotten what a bugger palm wood was to turn. I lost the first one and salvaged this by using a lot of ca and aluminium fines.

I sympathise it is all you said but every now and again I come back to it.

Did you ever tryed it with a very sharp plane. I allways use that tool for difficult woods, soft touch and fine shavings gives a nice finish

 

[Graham_C]

Looks interesting, works for me

 

[fortress]

Nice one Keith, looks fine.

Ooooh, I might have to invest in a Sierra kit that looks great. Never turned palm wood - might start with something easier:wink:

I've never thought of that method Clement. I have a miniature Veritas plane so I may give it a go.

Sorry for the mistake, it's not a plane but you must read a skew ( plane is the french word for skew )
