Large bowl advice please
I started this bowl with the intention of finishing it green as I normally do natural edge bowls. I had a couple of small complications with it and its by far the most challenging bowl I've turned, so I chickened out when I got it to 1.5" thick and put it up to dry.
Now I'm nervous about how it will dry with all the bark inclusions. I dont think I've ever twice turned a natural edge bowl much less one this big and gnarly. I like its potential so I don't mind waiting a few months but I'm wondering if I might be better off chucking it back up and trying to finish turn it now rather than risk drying problems.
What are your thoughts?
Oh, it's green ash, around 20" x 4".
