Greetings. First time poster here. I have been turning, off and on, for a few years, but nothing real serious. I had started out woodworking on a ShopSmith but over time I acquired stand alone machinery and was only using the SS as a lathe. So, I finally broke down, sold the SS and bought a Jet 1642EVS. It is so much nicer that I'm sure I will be turning a lot more in the future.
I am now looking to turn an urn and have been unable to find a dry blank the size I need, so I'm looking at green wood. Would this be the same process as turning green wood for bowls...rough it out, wait a few weeks while it dries and then finish up the work? Or is it just not a good idea?
