>the way I do is turn the piece then wait 2-3 days then return and so on until you get the thickness you want I ussually leave 1"then work from there Im talking about olive wood that is notorious to warp and crack a lot now if you turn end grain you can get away with a lot more because it does not warp too much if you turn it thin1/4" I do alot of end grain turning usually vases and natural edge bowls and no problem if the wood is too wet or Im in a hurry I micro the thing for 3minutes few times and presto ED
My answer is yes. I do both. If I have a great need for some matural edged bowls I will turn them straight away from green wood. Turn to finished thickness, sand and finish. They warp a bit but generally do so in a length wise fashion that mimics the already falso oval of the bowl, so no one will notice. Most of the time I turn them in a roughing session where I rough ten or twelve bowls and end seal them to dry and finish turn later. Most finishes seem to work quite well on either method.
