Mimosa Interior View
I am glad I had the chance to work with Mimosa but given the respiratory irritation and lack of what I would call WOW factor, I don’t think I would seek Mimosa out in the future. But at the same time I wouldn’t discourage a curious wood turner from trying it out. It is easy and fast to work with, sands super easily, and takes a nice finish, so that is a lot going for it from the perspective of a wood turner.

All cuts were made using the Easy Wood Tool system on my Robust American Beauty lathe. Forward chucking was in a Nova Chuck, while reverse chucking was done using a Nova Chuck with Cole Jaws. Sanding was with Gold and Green Wave sanding discs from Packard Woodworks. Final finish is Shellawax.
As always, I wish all my readers a great experience in whatever your wood working interests happen to be and to those who like working with lathes especially, do a good turn today!
