Sealing wood blanks
When sealing fresh cut wood or converted blanks I have started using cheap PVA diluted 50/50 with water. Has anyone had experience with the long term success of this method?

Sounds good. Ensure that the ends are completely sealed. You may need to recoat a couple of times as on some very green timbers the sap will contibue to bleed for some time. Get the first coat dryish and then recoat. If it bleeds through, apply another coat. As long as you totally seal the ends you can use anything you like!
Even a very large condom would probably do the job!!

The reason a lot of moisture content is lost from timber as we all know is due to the air flow around the timber with varying ranges of temperature.
One way of slowing this down as told to me years ago was to bury the turning blanks under piles of sawdust and shavings.
Rough turning the blanks if turning in volume and then burying them is another way ofslowly reducing moisture.
Tho I have never used this idea the old bloke that who told me reckoned on him using all the time with little trouble.
The problem being if you have large amounts of shavings and sawdust piled up you then have a fuel source begging for ignition unless isolated!
Also apparently years ago Butchers blocks were submersed in water for up to 5 years with a slow leaching of the cellulose and minimal collapse of the cellular structure.
