Hi All,
I have some spare turpentine floor boards that i am using to play with. I just wanted to check if anyone has worked with this timber, especially with hand tools?
It is beautiful timber, looks awesome! But i have found it extremely hard to plane. I have sharpened the blade, but it still requires a lot of force/strength to push it through, even with very light shavings. It made it very difficult to thickness by hand. Do others have similar experience?
On the plus side it chisels (for dovetails) very well and when finished looks really great, awesome colour and smooth feel.
Cheers, Dave
