Yep, Weisbyo, wrong part of Forum, but lets live dangerously.....

Cut the CL green, but seal the ends and leave for about 3 months, If you store it correctly, (ie clamped so it can't twist) it will neither warp nor crack.

CL dries very quickly and is easy to work.

When complete it has the most beautiful figure to it.
