Bowl blanks dipped in wax
Many people work with green / wet wood. One doesn't finish the job,
but leave thickness inside and out. Put it in a paper bag to retard
the drying but allow it - and wait for a month or so.

I turned on and it was very green and wet... Cracked as I was tuning

I'm considering scraping the wax off of everything but the ends, to
let it dry normally, any reason that I shouldn't??
I'm thinking that completely sealed in wax, they'll never dry, am I
wrong here?
