Greetings. After many years of being absent, I'm back into turning, and I came across an issue with a bowl I had just turned. I believe the species is Decorative Cherry, or so I was told. After turning, I see my hands and arms are black from the turning and won't clean off very easily. The bowl turned out just as I had hoped, and once stained, it will be a nice piece for my wife. It has some really great grain patterns. Is the Cherry? Can I use a product on my hands to make clean-up easier?
BTW - I have started tagging my wood after I prepare it for drying so I know what it is and where I got it. My neighbors have been very generous.
Thanks in advance.
