That's correct, but turning wet maple is a lot of fun, and easier than
letting it dry first. Turn it down to about 10% of the starting
diameter, or about 3/4" to 1", and let it dry slowly ona paper bag,
with a couple of handfuls of shavings. In a month, or two, reload,
and finish it off.
Or turn it to finish now, and let it move.

The way you've said that, you want the OP to take a 6" piece of wood and
turn it down to 1". That's a whole heck of a lot of waste. Are you
selling a "make your own chipboard kit"?
