Turned a couple of goblets recently. This one I was reasonably happy with when I turned it on Sunday, but I had neglected to trim the first inch or so off the wood - had been cut for a week or so. Predictably, it started to crack a few times. About 4 hours after it was turned, and brought into my kitchen it looked like this:
Today, I happened by it, and the crack had mostly disappeared visually. Always funny how wooden things will change and move as they settle. Not sure I'd seen this trick yet, but now I have.
Tried to get a similar angle on the pictures. Crack is still there, but has gone from 3/32 wide to practically nothing.
