I'm turning a bowl out of green sycamore, store bought blank, waxed and wet. So wet it through water on me!!
Turned it Sunday afternoon, shaped and sanded outside, roughed out inside to 3/8 -1/2" thick. Went out Monday evening and cleaned inside to 1/4" +- wall thickness. Looking pretty good at this point. BUT -- the outside has warped in the drying process. Visually it is unnoticeable, but spinning (at 1400 rpm) it is obvious. If you can see the shadow in the pic, she's a good 1/8" out of round.
Question is, should I reshape the outside and bring it back round (or closer to round)? The inside has not moved noticeably since last evening. How many times and for how long should one work reshaping?
Thanks, Tony
