What say ye...

Inspired by Leo V's website, I've spent the last couple of days doing roughing mostly. Still have a long way to go before I match Leo's three zillion blanks drying on the shelf, but it's a start. Got me thinking about drying though. Usually I rough turn to 10% of diameter, slather on end grain sealer inside and out (on the end grain - I ignore the side grain) then toss them in a paper bag w/shavings. Wondering what everybody else does. Leo seems to coat them and toss them on the shelf w/o any bagging. I presume he coats the inside and out. Is the whole thing coated? So what's everybody else do after roughing? Seal and bag? Seal only? Seal inside and out? Various permutations of the above? Yeah, I know about finish turning wet bowls and letting them warp. But I'm not asking about that. S'later... ...Kevin

yeah, but you can store your stock outside where you live, George....

I'm thinking Baja will be as bad or worse for storing wood outdoors.. Mac
