re: Olive Goblet

I'm always torn on wood that's cracking like that. Lately, I've just been leaving it to continue drying and cracking in the shop, and then try to get the cracks filled in two passes. One early on the log, then rough-turn, then make tape and plastic-wrap dams before another epoxy fill to pick up the remaining cracks. So far, I've always needed a third pass with almost-set epoxy going into a few remaining cracks while I manually rotate the piece on the lathe to get to it all. That gets a little frantic.
