Can't find info on the internet - help?

New to this - Can you glue wood together to make wood blanks to turn?
and has any of you cut your own blanks on a bandsaw? Thinking about getting into this and the wood seems very expensive....

Thanks Bob. I did find more info on cutting blanks and gluing after further research. I didn't have the opportunity to learn this stuff in high school, I had to take Home Economics

Ya showing your age now. Me to I would have killed to go to shop, no way
my parents called that dumb bell school. So I got out of high school
with nothing else but, I never forgot how to type. So when my two
went to high school I did not restrict them like my father did. I did learn
Columbus sailed in a wooden ship not steel thats it. But on the case of
wood being glued, well for a short time I worked in a boat yard and all
makings were or are glued, turned shaped sanded into beauty.
