<p class="MsoNormal">Agree with Monique, embedded resin things are easy to do.  I prefer epoxies over polyester for many reasons in this regard, but they’re much nicer to turn and polish.<br>
<br>
You can turn HDPE plastics (chopping boards are this, as are milk bottles), and a student at St Michaels while I was there completed his entire year 12 project by collecting and melting down recycled milk containers into a solid blank, which was turned into
 a lampshade.  You can, though, purchase solid sections in a whole range of sizes and colours.  Turning HDPE wants sharp sharp sharp tools, or scrapers, and then final sandpapering down through a broad range of grits to wind up nice.<br>
<br>
Bakelite, Tufnol and so forth are formaldehyde resin composites (fabric in glues, effectively), and turn well – but they’re not commonly turned and mostly get used for gaskets and washers, pulleys and so forth.<br>
<br>
You can, of course, use tree branches of relatively straight feature, stump sections, and so forth at will.  They CAN be unpredictable however.
