    Stuart King demonstrated his turning of flowers to the Tudor Rose Woodturners a few weeks ago using a standard electrically driven lathe. His comment was the slower the better on fixed speed lathes but to keep experimenting on your own lathe to find the speed that works for you!

    i think what hes calling sun shoots are suckers which grow very fast. as far as the characteristics of hazel i would guess that its a real close grain wood probably like a hard maple tree would work good.
