Re: Greenwood

My Opinion.. Yes and No ???
I have a walking stick I turned while green and finished with poly over 30 years ago and it looks great, never cracked.
But I have carved some green wood and finished it the same way and it cracked the next day. I guess it depends on the wood ! I would say to go ahead and carve the piece and let it dry for a while then fill any cracks and then finsh it !
Good Luck !

The best tip I have with spirals is to cut straight lines backwards. instead of pushing the work piece into the blade, pull it toward you. Seems to allow for better control on straight lines (most other lines too)
