Very beautiful piece. Do you turn it when wet and then let it dry the 2
or 3 year or wait and turn it after it is dry.
Very much like a ceramic piece.


It sat in my shop for two or three years before I tried to do anything.
I then started roughing it out to be used as a base for a lighthouse
but I didn't like how it came out so just set it aside for another
couple years. After the moisture level got to a low enough level I
finished it up.

Usually after roughing I can come back to something w/6 months, but
because I'd left this extra thick I wanted to give it a goodly long time
to dry...
