Back in August the wife got me a beatuiful piece of olive wood from Wood crafters abiut 6x6x2. Well last week I finally got around to cuttung it on the bandsaw and mounted it on the lathe. Rough turned it to the shape I wanted with nice 1/4" walls did some sanding and everything was looking good. The following evening went out to the shop and found the peice had checked severely. some of the cracking went all the wat thru rhe bowl and across it. I now have a very expensive chunck of firewood. The wood was dry when I turned it, any thoughts about what went wrong. ?
