%!$ Easy Diy Woodworking Bench Plans For You #!@

I've turned a few things green on a lathe and I expected them to to do odd things, and they warped and/or cracked. But what useful techniques are out there that this could be minimized or even controlled? I don't know if it is possible, other than letting the wood dry to a more stable moisture content before turning it. green-wood turning lathe moisture. share | improve this question |. follow. | edited Mar 5 '16 at Ast Pace. 3, gold badge silver badges bronze badges. Wood drying (also seasoning lumber or wood seasoning) reduces the moisture content of wood before its use. When the drying is done in a kiln, the product is known as kiln-dried timber or lumber, whereas air drying is the more traditional method. There are two main reasons for drying wood: Woodworking. When wood is used as a construction material, whether as a structural support in a building or in woodworking objects, it will absorb or expel moisture until it is in equilibrium with its surroundings. As far as turning, rough turn it green and let it dry. Of course this depends on what you are turning. So the next question is what do you want to turn?  I have been turning green wood for 20+ years and vary rarely have the bowls cracked. I first turn the blank so the walls are between 7/8 to 1 inch thick. I then microwave the rough turned blank (obviously has to fit in microwave) for between and 4 minutes (depending on the size of the blank). The larger the blank the more time you can "cook it". When it comes out of the oven, you should be able to hold it in your hands without your having to let it go.
