Jeb, I use Anchorseal and buy it direct from them. Before I used it I
would get parifin wax, melt it and paint it on the ends of logs. That
worked fairly well. If you are turning bowls go ahead and turn the
green wood, then let them dry. There are all kinds of methods of
drying the bowls. You can do a search for bowl drying. I am using the
denatured alcohol method by Dave Smith with success. I have also used
Anchorseal to coat bowls made from green wood. I put them away to dry
for a few months.
