I have recently turned a few cherry, and big leaf maple large bowls. I rough turned them leaving them over an inch thick (they are green) I coated the entire bowl with 2 coats of anchor seal. They are cracking at about three weeks. What a waste! I keep my shop at 55% humidity with a dehumidifier. I live in the Olympics area, so there is no lack of humidity. Each bowl has two or three cracks in different places. Not to mention the cherry went so oblong after three weeks, I don't think it would be possible to re mount it anyway. I have an entire big leaf maple tree, and some very large logs that are cherry; I don't want to ruin all that wood! What is a good way to dry these out without them cracking?
