Or is it Zebranio, anyway, managed to get hold of a sizable amount of this timber at a good price sold as kiln dried but still wet(ish), so seasoned for approx 6 months in the workshop.
Turned a bowl, looked really nice with the contrasting grain, three days inside and large crackes started to appear in the rim (gutted)
Brought some blanks inside to try to dry them slowly and cracks appering all over the place, hope they will machine out.
Is this wood prone to cracking in this way or am I doing something wrong, never had this prob as bad with any other wood.
Will try sealing with that peroxide stuff or whatever its called (got some somewhere)
Any ideas gratfully recieved.
