Nice Gerald,
Please tell us the secret to avoid cracking.........or did you rough it a
while back and recently turn it. I have had real good luck with turning
green bradford pear for small christmas ornaments and the like but not so
for the bowls that size. I have not yet tried the LDD (liquid dishwashing
detergent) with it but will someday.
Thanks Lyndell

I rough turn them to thickness about 1/10 the diameter, bag
them until dry (usually 3-4 months), Re-cut the dovetail
recess to make it round again and just turn and finish. Very
seldom have I had a crack.
