I have rough turned a 22"x5" bowl from green walnut using the 10% rule for thickness; the walls and bottom are 2.25 " thick. I have coated it with Pentacryl to stabilize it during drying. Jimmyjames thinks it may take a year for the bowl dry for final turning and of course I would like it to dry quicker. Does anybody have any suggestions to speed things up? I was thinking of letting it dry to some point, turning it to 1" thick and letting it dry the rest of the way from there. I have no idea if this would help or if it would cause problems and I don't know what would be the ideal moisture content for this second turning. Any thoughts or recommendations on this idea?
