				Wood question
			 
 I just started turning but I like some of the pencils I made and would like to finish them.  Some are mahogany and the others are lighter colored softer wood, not quite sure what they are.  Is mahogany a good wood for plugs?  I guess what I really want to know is what woods are good for pencils and needlefish, and what woods should I stay away from when building plugs?  Also can anybody recommend a book about different properties of woods?  Sorry to be asking so many questions but there is so much to learn.  Thanks in advance guys. |
