Yes! I put them in a paper bag, for a couple of weeks, somewhere coolish and away from drafts. Then out in the warm to finish them off before oiling.

Most don’t crack. They warp and go oval depending on wood type grain orientation and wetness of the wood.
They occasionally split if they have an existing crack/check in the wood. Else the trick is to dry them slowly.

Thank you!

Thanks! Looks like a mini cauldron.

I normally use beech because that’s what I make the bowls from but this is soo much easier to carve. I found it much easier to get clean facets and detail. I’m no carver tho… not sure it will last as long as beech hence the thought of adding some urushi but it’s pretty resilient stuff.
