I was sharing my experience, think you need go back and read everything I posted. Problem I experience was I had ordered a Cue it was to be Ambonia Burl, it was stableized wood the gentleman was trying to work with. It kept blowing up on him, it would not turn properly. He said I give up on using the Amboina as you want. I said I get it. We moved on.
Problem is with wood when you turn it it is not like Cold Steel, Stainess Steel, or Alumium, Bronze, Brass, Copper or other metals. Those metals are made by man in a controled manufacturing process. Where the metal can be pretty much standardized.
Wood on the other hand varies from piece to niece with the same specie. So you might have two blocks of Cocobolo 2" X 2" X 18" from the same tree. Each is different because where in the tree they came from. Then you have two identical block of say Mexican Cocobolo both from different growing regions, with slightly different climetes, rainfall, etc. New game on.
So this is the problem the wood worker faces, Cuemakers face with each piece of wood because it is not like a man made product. Grain patterns, grain structure, knots, density, etc. Wood is made by Mother Nature, and nothing is exactly the same.
By the way I have work with wood in school shops, served a couple of years of a tool & die apprentisp back during the RVN War. Sawed, cut, milled turned, drilled, tapped, surface ground all sort of metals. Working with metal is more predictable then doing the same procedure with & on wood.
