Welcome js, I don't think Andrew meant "not bother with unstable green
wood in the future" as it is very much used by turners for many
reasons. I happen to believe that it is easier to turn, less dusty and
it's a short time between log & lathe. Keep on turning it and learning
with the rest of us. You are probably experienced in woodworking and
it's unlikely that you ever made furniture out of green wood. I don't
advise it...... but then a lot of bodgers did. Arch

Fortiter,
