Thought about it Jim but the shavings are all still wet too and I suspect this stuff would mould easily - shouldn't have cleaned up the shed before I started eh!

I like it. Looks very nice. I am also watching to see how this dries out.

On behalf of everyone who likes to leave piles of shavings around, thank you. This will make it much easier to defend myself to the neatness police.
At Turnfest this year a couple of guys were doing green turning, and using dishwashing liquid to stabilise the blanks before and during turning. Might be worth a try.

OK Vern, it's been 4 days now, how's it lookin'.
To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional
Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.
What could possibly go wrong.

2 cracks heading towards the folds - not too big to patch up so far. Will take a pic at the 1 week mark - fingers crossed Originally Posted by Grumpy John

One week on and we're not looking too bad
The two main cracks would be less than 1mm across, in fact I can't see through them - yet! There another 2 very small cracks starting towards the middle from the folds but I don't think they'll go far. Looks like it might be a keeper after all

That's a fine looking shamrock you have carved on the base there TT Originally Posted by TTIT

Update!!!
Well I reckon it's about as dry as it's gonna get - actually gained weight on the last check - might have something to do with getting oversprayed from a very, very wet Sally wattle bowl I roughed out the other night.
Didn't end up too bad at all - only one more crack appearing after about 4 weeks and none of them are bad enough to stop me from finishing the piece - when I get time
