Turning Lidded Box From Green, Wet Wood

I love to turn fresh, green, wet wood. While it is sometimes
a shower, the wood is soft and cheap. The problem is that it
is wet and will always shrink and warp.
The solution - turn it twice with time to dry between. While
there are still precautions to avoid cracks, this works.
Except that with all that time working on other projects,
I forget about the wood that is drying and what I intended
for it.
Fortunately, I can get back to the project and finally turn it.
Having visited other turners' shops, I am not alone. :)
Some newer viewers may wonder why I insist on wearing a face shield for safety. Please check out this video:

Enjoy.

Yes it was! Alan
Looks nice, Alan. The way you cut the top gave a great grain match for the finished lid and box. Bill

Merci beaucoup Alan
The Elm is quite beautiful. It has a very nice color and figure. You gave it a nice shape with lid. A couple of questions come to mind. How much storage do you have for keeping 3 year old projects? More importantly, how were you able to keep track of the 3 year old video from the initial turning? I cannot find something that is 3 days old, much less 3 years. I am not wearing my face shield. It interferes with the typing.😆😆 However I will put it on when I go to the lathe. You have a great day and I will stay safe.🙂🙂

Well, if I cannot find the old video, I don't publish it. (for some reason) Alan
