It's been a while, i have been concentrating on making glass beads for my wifes jewellry and the lathe has been very quiet... also as i said a while ago i am still in the process of building a new shed. It's only been 6 months! Money is a bit thin on the ground.
ANYWAY
My question is> What can i put on the exposed ends of the freshly cut Jacaranda (kindly given to me from next door) to stop it from cracking before i can get to turn it? Preferably something cheap and easy.
Should i rough it it into blanks first or will it be ok in the chunkier form.

P.S. There is a pic of the timber attached, my size 11 is at the front to give you a rough estimate of the sizes of timber!
