I've got it roughed down to about 1 1/4" so far and have put some ca on the bark and cambium area. I don't have anchor seal so I wiped beeswax on all endgrain surfaces and placed in a bag full of dry shavings. The walnut itself is still real green to the point that it's moisture was hitting me in the face while spinning. The bowl is about 9 1/2" x 5 1/2". Having only owned a lathe for a month I'm not sure if I've done everything right for dryin, so any pointers would be appreciated. Also, how long should it be allowed to dry before it can be finished?
