Finally got some nice weather to get the chain saw out last night before sun down and cut a log I came across about a month ago.
Enjoyed my shower along the way of rounding this guy out. Don't ask about the spigot out the back, it wasn't planned...
Either way I figured I should sand this before I turn the bowl around and core it out, but the wood was very wet. I was thinking I should let this dry for a few days before I sand? Or should I just sand the outside and inside at the same time? Not quite sure what to do here as this is my first NE bowl.
Also when it comes time to finish this can I do it now or do I have to wait? I scared that if I wait the bowl will come out of round and I won't be able to chuck it again. Also I have heard it is a good idea to try and CA glue the bark line?
