Ahhh yes heat is definately the issue when working with it. I personally don't use a lathe, All work is don on sanders. Definatly have to work cool and rather than sanding on down stroke on bench, you need to do it up so it drags the hot material away from it.
The weight is about 2.5 on the large yellow, 2.2 on the Red and same on the blue. Stuff is beautiful when done
Who know's where we'll go next ????
