I responded to a wood alert this morning for tristania laurina, cut the stump off at grade for the owner, brought it home and am turning it. I will put the tenon at the grade cut because I think that will be strongest. Do you have any experience or suggestions, it is very wet, sprays me at 540 rpm, do I want to turn it to final form and thickness so I don't have to finish turn it again? From what I read water gum does not dry well, splits, cracks, twists and does not sand well either and I have 5 little trunks inside 1. As usual thank you for your experience and suggestions.
