I have a bunch of green soft maple to rough turn or prep as is for drying. I would like to make some winged emerging bowls and wonder which method is likely to be successful.
1.Rough out the the shape including the wings, Anchor Seal and dry. Concern is the long wings will take much long to dry than the bowl shape and cracks will develop
2. Don't turn now, Anchor Seal the half round log (pith has been cut out) and let them dry for a year or more
3. Turn it to completion now (single turning). I have not done this style turning and sanding the wings seems daunting.
Which is the best method? Or is there another process? I got the photo below from the gallery, turned by Allen Axelopulus in 2007 (thank you sir). It is similar to what I would like to end up with.
