Has anyone ever turned end grain cherry bowls with good results? Green to finish? Green to rough and seal?

Sean, I've never turned an end grain bowl but a friend of mine has done quite a few in Walnut. I believe he rough turned them and finished when dry.

Sean - I've turned a couple. Here's a link to one of them: http://www.sawmillcreek.org/showthread.php?t=49041

Sean - thanks! That was a long time ago and I had to do some digging in the archives to find any photos. We still have that bowl and after a few years has developed a beautiful rich cherry color. Love that wood!
Here is what the bowl looks like now. It is a little rough around the edges but it has been used. Love the patina!

Sean,
Check out Andre Martel's video on end grain bowls. Also, he has developed a tool specifically made for end grain.

I rough mine and the return to the lathe. The termite or hunter tool both work great on end grain.
