for a light wood, turn thin - I like about 1/8 to 1/16 inch so it's
transparent, then oil to help transparancy - it won't crack and it won't
warp much (generally) when it's really thin - and all the non-turners can
"ooh-aaahhh" over the translucence. use a light to help turn to uniform
thickness (put light on outside, turn inside to uniform brightness

Hello,

I've been watching the Del Stubbs video, and it it, he turns green
bowls from firewood to finished bowl in one go. How does one do this
without having cracks, etc? He just puts them on the shelf after he's
done with each of them, and they look fine. I'd appreciate some wisdom
on this subject.
