It's much tougher to get the crispness in the soft maple, it likes to crumble if you turn edges too thin. But the over shaping should be the same. I'm afraid that most of the difference has to be attributed to the maker! It's quite a difference between the noisy chaos of a show and the quiet in my shop, plus, I sure got in a lot of practice turning all those legs. Thanks for the question.Peter Galberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206420121702258974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-23483017273645372502009-04-23T18:56:00.000-05:002009-04-23T18:56:00.000-05:00How much of the difference in the two turnings wou...How much of the difference in the two turnings would you attribute to the difference between soft and hard maple?<br /><br />MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5839508507864602815.post-73952730888787086552009-04-22T10:43:00.000-05:002009-04-22T10:43:00.000-05:00Thanks everyone, and sorry for the delay in respon...Thanks everyone, and sorry for the delay in response, for some reason my email wasn't notified of the comments.

And thanks for the continual challenge to go deeper and get better on technique and tools. I really agree that it's worth pushing one's skills to the next level - whatever that might be. I've learned a tremendous amount from your posts that have been an upgrade from what I've been doing.
