[crw-talk] Wet wood $&/#%!

[Mwt]

Hello CRW friends, not everything I turn is an unqualified success.
A week or so ago I found this piece of mulberry in my wood stash because I was going to be the next Lyle Jamison!  Or so I thought.  Well, the piece turned out nicely as I first cut the outside shape then hollowed it with my homemade Jamison system then used a couple of other hollowing tools I got from club members, Ken Grunke and Jim Frank to get the inside nice and smooth.  Then I refined the outside surface, cut a tenon for later mounting and parted it off from the faceplate.  Lastly I put a few coats of oil finish on the outside and inside to slow the drying and set it aside.  Well, the photos tell the story!  Should’ve nuked it I guess.  Or left it thicker.  Or soaked in DNA.  
So now it is well ventilated, or should I say, air conditioned.  Just like the old joke about the guy who told his buddy that his hot rod car had 4-60 air conditioning, open all four windows and drive 60 miles per hour!
John
