I got some wood from my friend's woodpile. The pile was sitting on wet earth near a stream under shade trees. I've rough turned two bowl blanks of spalted maple. The wood was wet, not green, but seasoned, wet, in the process of rotting/spalting. I'm wondering if there's anything special about drying these blanks vs. green wood? I'm trying the wrap with plastic trick and for good measure still putting them in a paper bag with shavings.
Thoughts?
