I think the Persimmon wood is beautiful to both the touch and the eye with the unique dark stippling through the lighter material, enhanced by the mysterious fibrous inclusion. The spalting also adds some interest even though I am not a huge fan of working with spalted wood because it tends to cut rough and be punky at best. However, Persimmon seems to decay quite easily and I don’t know how possible it would be to obtain Persimmon that didn’t have some degree of spalt as all the many pieces I have seem to have some degree of it present.<\/p>\n

I intend to start a large green turning project featuring Persimmon, with about 14 or more pieces up for turning and sealing and I will be sure to post at least a photo once the rough turning is completed.<\/p>\n
As always, I wish all my readers a great experience in whatever their wood working interests happen to be and to those who like working with lathes especially, do a good turn today!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
