Hi,
Well I have rough turned wet wood before but this one had me drenched. I kept a wet rag handy to wipe the face shield every 15 to 20 seconds or so. Water was dripping off the handle of the gouge also. Plenty of resin and very stickey too. First time I,ve ended with a puddle on the floor. I guess its down to the wet summer we have had. The wood is a chunk of Mexican Pine. Had it cut down at great expense a month ago. My own fault as I planted it 20 odd years ago. I would not normally bother woth pine but as it was planted by me I kept one round that made 2 bowl blanks. I will let the other one dry off some before it gets chucked up as that was a very messy job. Just have to hope rough bowl dries without too many dramas.
Regards
John
