You have some great answers here. One alternative is to turn a natural edged
bowl. These are generally of eliptical or oval shape and the warp as they
dry follows the shape of the bowl. Take a look here for ideas

These guys are correct, however if you want a bowl that isn't warped,
rough turn it wet, to a wall thickness of 10% of the overall diameter.
Wax the outside and let it sit for 6-9 months. Or you can fire it in
the microwave on defrost for a few minutes, letting it cool inbetween.
That'll speed things up considerably. weigh it and once it stops losing
weight it's done. Both of these methods I've had excellent success
with. A few bowls do warp, slightly.

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.
