Having made over a hundred bowls (none very nice) I'm thinking of trying new forms, including lidded boxes. Can you turn these green? I just had to cut down an old cherry tree and have a lot of 4-8 " wood and most of the grain is quite pretty. What I won't use for bowls, I was hoping to make into small boxes. Do you folks rough cut boxes and then let them dry, in the same manner as one does bowls?
Thanks, Hilel.
PS, as soon as I cut the tree down, I screamed " I cannot tell a lie." and my neighbors are seriously thinking of having me committed. The wife has wanted to do this for years.
