I'm sorry but I have to totally disagree with you on this one Ralph no turner worth his salt would ever make a box out of wet wood for the reason you state and the same with spindles  I have turned a lot of wet wood into natural edge bowls and had very few crack and if they do they can still be laced up and they still sell quite well in fact sometimes better than other bowls , some will distort but even that can be controlled with plugs  like the hat man dose but like you it is just my opinion
