My wood is a little green, but I am greener still at this turning thing :confused: :o. Totally clueless.
How should I approach turning semi-green wood? The black walnut rounds have been setting around for about a month, and I'm afraid if I took them in the shop and dried them they would spalt or crack or the Bad Boogie Turning Man would cause something awful to happen.
Here's the deal. I am interested in making bowls and I want to turn them now. Bad idea? How should I dry them if I did turn a few?
What process works best, i.e., what would you do in this situation?
