essentially nothing.
A better bet is to turn a tenon for a chuck, that way when the wood dries, you can re-turn it back round.

Green Wood
I have turned a lot of green wood. Never use a glue block!!!!! Too dangerous!
If you are rough turning bowls leave enough on the base for a faceplate or a tenon, and as a plus leave a "tower" on the inside to assist in truing the work up after drying. That way, you can use the tailstock and a spur drive to re-turn the tenon.
