Default Ponderosa Pine

A friend took down a Ponderosa Pine tree in his front yard and I got
the trunk - 22 - 26 inches in diameter. The piecies weigh a good 150
lbs. I don't have much experience turning wet pine, or pine period,
really. This stuff has a lot of sap in it. What effect is that going
to have? Will it ever dry/cure/whatever? Is there anything that will
seal it?

I'd like to make some large salad bowls if I can deal with the sap
issue.
