Hi Guys, I just turned my first natural edge bowl tonight. When doing natural edge bpwls, do you normally use the same process as any other bowl ... ie. rough them out while green, let them dry, then put them back on the lathe to finish?
Or do you typically/sometimes turn them with thin walls and finish them green, then just let them warp a bit into the final shape? If this is a common method and you remove the tenon while the bowl is green so that it's essentially finished, what do you do for sanding? I typically sand while the bowl is on the lathe, but I guess this would not be possible while it's green and wet?
Thanks ... lots of questions I guess.
