This is not a good wood for turning because it is a fairly soft wood with very hard growth rings. It will quickly dull your tools, and it's difficult to sand it properly because the soft wood sands away before the hard wood. Anyway, this is some pieces of scrap glued together to make a turning blank for a test. With carbide tipped tools I was able to get a pretty smooth surface which didn't need much sanding. I finished it with boiled linseed oil only.
