I picked up a couple marblewood bowl blanks from woodcraft this past weekend.
Man! This stuff is some hard, tool-blunting wood! Lots of sharpening happening just to true the blank up!
Anything to watch out for? Is it prone to breaking, such as how I found purpleheart to be brittle? That is, aside from the use sharp tools tips
I had some walnut that was cracking due to the heat from the application of friction polish. That kind of tips. For instance, I read somewhere something about resin extrusion? Don't know what that means
Thanks, all!
