TRIED AUSTRALIAN PINE one time !   WONT TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT GRAIN (looked like/shaped/twisted/good grief/! ! !) SOON AS I GOT BARK OFF, DISAPPOINTMENT SET IN. Maybe it was just this one piece, didn't have another. Fl. has many, many used for wind break round citrus groves.

    I don't like turning pine at all with the exception of 2X4's for practice.

    I made some pens from pine beams recycled out of an old jail- built in 1817. According to a forestry professor, the wood was probably 100 years older than that. Still smelled like pine. The grain was pretty tight but it still took a light touch when turning and sanding.

    Yeah, Pine is a fine wood to turn if there is a sentimental reason to do so.  Any other reason, choose something better.
