finally!
 

finally ordered a lathe (grizzly 8690). what type of wood do you guys suggest starting with. thanks in advance for the help.:btu:

Congrats on the lathe :happy:

Wood will depend on what types of plugs you want to make. If you are just starting out with a lathe, pick up some hardwood or poplar dowels from Homies. If you seal them, they'll do ok. Good stuff to start with while you learn on the lathe. Move up to the more expensive stuff once you got it down some.
