in contrast to most other posters, here's my approach:

turn the form to final size while wet - turn the walls thin, so light shines
through - with ash, this is around 1/8 to 3/16, maple is a little thinner -
put a bright light behind the piece and turn for uniform "glow". Then sand
and finish with laquer immediately. never have mildew problems, rarely any
checkng even on the foot, which is of course a bit thicker.
