I finished turning a large vase out of wet wood t'other week.
Being an impatient git I finished it in woodwax22, then took it indoors & left on the windowsill above a radiator.
Each morning for about three days there was a small pool of water underneath it, I didn't seal the bottom of it.
Now it's completely dry & hasn't moved a bit, one crack showed in a knot 3/4 of the way up the vase.
The vase is about 13 inch high & 7 inch diam at the widest point.

Oh, turning wet wood is a different experience entirely and one you will enjoy. You'll end up thinking you've been in a shower tho

[QUOTE="stevenw1963, post: 51117, member: 109"] I finished turning a large vase out of wet wood t'other week. Being an impatient git I finished it in woodwax22, then took it indoors & left on the windowsill above a radiator. Each morning for about three days there was a small pool of water underneath it, I didn't seal the bottom of it. Now it's completely dry & hasn't moved a bit, one crack showed in a knot 3/4 of the way up the vase. The vase is about 13 inch high & 7 inch diam at the widest point. Oh, turning wet wood is a different experience entirely and one you will enjoy. You'll end up thinking you've been in a shower tho :banana::banana: [/QUOTE]
