Default Drying question, what to do with this wood?

I bought a beautiful piece of spalted maple on ebay; 8" x10"x5".
It is treated with anchorseal and has been air drying for one year.
My moisture meter shows that the heaviest spalted areas are 16% moisture,
and the firmer spots are 8%.

I am not quite sure what anchorseal is, but presume it is a waxy material to
retard drying?
How do I proceed with this to use it for turning?
Just leave it alone for a few more years?
Rough turn it and let it dry out before finishing?
Or something else?

Thanks.
