=====I suspect that your finished turning and didn't sand i
immediately. Rather you plunked it back into the soup. I suggest that finishin turning and sanding be done together and the immediate application of you finish.
To rectify this situation, if the bowl is fairly smooth, I would use a number of paper shop towel while you rotate the bowl fairly rapidly o the lathe and try to absorb the LDD as the bulk of it is centripetall forced out of the wood. The sand it like wet sanding. You'll get a goo smooth finish that way. Use the towels and get the sanding debris off th bowl and apply your shellac sanding sealer. If the wood is still a bit damp t the touch, that is ok! Although I have left a bowl overnight on the lathe before applying the finish, it is not the best idea as drying starts t take place immediately and that is when outof round and cracking problem can occur. Good luck!

Hi Leif Thanks for your quick reply. Have done as you told me, i had left th peice on the lathe over night but here in the uk the temp is about degree and we had a damp mist over night so only a very small amount o drying. I wet sanded dried with towels and then put on the sander sealer, thi left a milky film on top which i gave 2 hrs two dry, light sand to remov film then applied second coat, which again some went in ( i hope ) an rest milky film. I have now brought the piece into the house and will le dry for 24hrs before i remount, cutback and polish. Fingers crossed a this piece has lovely grain and spalting Mar
