I started turning last October, what a great hobby!
I've roughed out a dozen or so walnut bowl blanks from 18" diameter down to 6", using the 10% wall thickness rule of thumb.
My question is about sealing those blanks for drying. I use Anchorseal I buy from our turning club. I've coated some of the blanks fully, and some just on the outside. I wonder if the fully coated one's will dry?
I put the sealed blanks in my basement with a dehumidifier set at 45%. I live in Wisconsin and it's usually 60% humidity outside in the summer.
All help is appreciated.

- Coat the whole thing inside and out.
- Coat only the outside.
- Coat only the inside.
- Do it differently all together.
