Default Wood cracking

Back in August the wife got me a beatuiful piece of olive wood from Wood
crafters abiut 6x6x2. Well last week I finally got around to cuttung it on
the bandsaw and mounted it on the lathe. Rough turned it to the shape I
wanted with nice 1/4" walls did some sanding and everything was looking
good. The following evening went out to the shop and found the peice had
checked severely. some of the cracking went all the wat thru rhe bowl and
across it. I now have a very expensive chunck of firewood. The wood was
dry when I turned it, any thoughts about what went wrong.
