BTW, even if I am not going to turn it for a while I often take the rough bowl out of the chips after a couple of months and just put them back into an empty bag. After the about 2 months, the chips are usually pretty dry and the rough bowls have usually lost almost half of the weight they are going to and the worst of the cracking, if they are going to, is usually done by then.
On the other hand, I am not afraid to turn a badly cracked bowl and embellish it with a little epoxy or turquoise.
