[crw-talk] Honey dippers

[John & Donna Griffiths]

Hello Pam and every one else.  The question was if glued up red oak 
would be good for honey dippers would be good for honey dippers.  Lots 
of opinions shared and they show the value of our forum and the wide 
range of opinions of what is "right" or not "right" about a certain 
wood, or tool, or whatever.  So Pam, I hope you got some insight and 
then try turning them and figure out for yourself which woods and 
techniques work for you.

Bottom line, that is what the club is for and enjoy your woodturning 
journey, John
