Ok all you NE turners. I am in the process of buying 2 cherry blanks 8 X 8 X 4. He said he cut them in the spring. First off should I pursue them and because if I do I want to turn a NE with both? Second how do you handle a NE when drying. Do you just DNA them as any other bowl? I don't want the bark to come off after I turn the thing. Any advice would be appreciated.
