Hi, all -
I have a Lee Valley spokeshave kit I'd like to put to use soon. I tend to look for interesting scraps of wood for projects like this. I have access to a piece of narra, and physically it seems like a good wood (though maybe a little open-grained). My concern, though, is color staining/bleeding from the narra to lighter-colored woods. I know this is a concern with sanding dust and when adjacent contrasting woods are finished together; would there be a possibility of the narra's color being transferred to a workpiece by the spokeshave body?
Thanks,
Scott
