wet wood stains

I don't know if this is feasible, but could you coat the inside with shellac? The shellac wouldn't be much of an impediment for the heartwood area - unless your tools are really, really dull. When you're finished with the cutting, you could sand off the shellac, do a light shear cut or flood the surface with alcohol to disolve what remains.

Only rough-turn them wet, let them dry, then finish turning them. Any stained wood will be turned away.
