snap ... crackle ... pop

[Joe Judge]

After I'd turned this and sanded ... it made crackly noises when I held it to my ear. It went on for some time. This was some 1/2 green wood, so I assume it was the turning, sanidng heat affecting the internal water somehow.

What the heck was that? -- water heated to steam inside the wood fibers or something?

I've not heard this before with my other wood.

Nice Box! And wood!
Stress in the wood, or the heat of sanding.
