turners should have at least one
find it hard to resist turning a blank i like even knowing that the visible crack looks deep
probably deep enough to guarantee a failed turning
but i turn it anyway just because the wood is a good specimen
what are some tricks to try and save these hopeless cases
resin might work but sometimes the piece will let loose the internal stress before resin can be applied
maybe the problem is the wood was not seasoned properly but some wood seems to dry so fast that no amount of wax or sealing will save it
