    They say money does not grow on trees! I believe it takes a wood turner to reveal the hidden natural treasures in a tree.

    OK,newby question here.Do you dry a piece like that then turn it to a finished product or how is it done? The reason I ask is that I have some spalted maple like that and it is anchorsealed right now but I would love to turn it. I'm afraid it will crack badly after a day or two.

    Donny if it were a bowl or a lidded box I would rough turn and bag it for a few months then finish turn. For me a HF is a bit different. Once the round is cut I seal the end grain and sit on a shelf for 6 or more months then turn to completion. I'm sure I have a bit of wood movement this way but I generally like the results from the shifting wood...Bill..
