ahh aliright. So it will be best to just set it aside, and let it dry. So
for future reference, I should actually be turning dry wood.
Thanks again.

True, but doesn't slowing down the rate at which it drys out reduce the
risk
of splitting?
As I said, I'm a newbie to it
Yes that will reduce the risk of splitting, but keep in mind also that
green
wood is not as stable as dried wood. As the green wood does dry, it will
change shape. Many turners like the effect of a perfectly round bowl
changing shape after the green wood dries.
