Even though it's a common timber around here I've only worked it wet one other time. These 2 pieces were turned within hours of the tree coming down. Water spray all over the place, river of water running down the gouge flute, pretty cool experience. The OP pic was from a log cut in August so it wasn't quite as wet but still quite nice to work with. The NE piece came from the raw piece in the first piece.
