I just finshed turning a small grapefruit bowl, and will dry it using denaturated alcohol. I left the standard 10% in the wall thickness, but my question is how much warping do you think I will get with this grapefruit? As you can surmise this is the first piece of this I have turned. The tree was cut down this week. Thanks for your help. Glenn Hodges Lost in the woods in Nashville, GA

You will do a lot better if you leave the alcohol alone and use a 50/50 solution of liquid dish detergent. Soak it for 24 hours and then finish turning.
