Don't know that this is worthly of making Odie's tip list (and probably not new info to experienced woodworkers) but maybe helpful to some newbies.
As mentioned in another post, I had a bowl fly off the lathe the other day, it hit the edge of the lathe bed which put a pretty deep dent in the bowl on the way to the floor. Luckily no further damage when it hit the floor. I put the bowl back on the lathe and wet the dent, being done for the night, I left the damp sponge on the dent over night to swell the wood. Come morning, the dent was gone.
