I've been turning for a while but I've never run into this problem before!
I was turning a sopping wet piece of magnolia. It had a pale yellow color and thin, purple rings.
It looked fantastic. I turned it thin and let it dry by putting it in a paper bag in a cabinet with no air circulation.
After a week or so, it was completely dry. It warped, as I hoped it would and didn't crack (YAY!!).
However, it looks, well, dirty! I'm so disappointed I don't even know if I want to finish it.
Any thoughts/ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
S~
