In my experience dry time depends on the species and size of the blank. I've had some Jacaranda blanks that dried in a few months, others take 8 months or more to dry. You can do the rough turn/twice turn thing, the rough turned blanks may dry faster to allow you to final-turn earlier, but I don't yet - waiting to get a Bowl Saver first.Bill in Buena Park👍 1Comment

I watched the bowl cutter at Alaska Bowl Company use their multiple bowl cutter that would cut multiple "sisters" out of the same log. Very interesting. Their device was quite a lot sturdier piece of equipment. I would envision a lot of chatter with a lesser tool.Comment
