Deb: When you finished turning and sanding the next day, did you
_immediately_ apply the finish? What kind?

Joe is not the only one with this problem. Some, not all, my oak bowls
have
done the "oval thing." Soaked the nearly fully turned bowl (turned to 1/4
inch) overnight (24 hours) in a 1:1 solution and then finished the next
day. The warping is not extreme, but is enough to seriously detract.

Hi, Joe: Your experience has been the exception. I would almost
venture
a
bet that you didn't follow "Leif's instructions" to the letter. How
about
sending me an email with the exact procedure you used. I generally
found
that there were deviations in the procedure resulting in warping or
cracking.

Howdy:
I have used the Costco dish detergent as per Leifs instructions.

I turned several cherry bowls, after the appropriate soaking.
Immediately finishing them afterwards. None exhibited cracking.
They all look nicely oval and raised up at the end grain end
