Received several nice chunks of Oregon Myrtle and Big Leaf Maple from my daughter about a month ago. Pulled them out to make a few myrtle pens and found that the maple (est. size 6x6x6 inches) had started to split. Would like to rescue these pieces so I can turn into bowls. What might be the best way to prevent more splitting (drying)? Have Anchor Seal but thought I might need to get into the split areas (or...maybe not?) so will immersion in something required?
Hope there is some magic...these have some nice burl :frown:. Would have already coated the end but the seller out there told DD it was dried.
A piece of myrtle bowl blank (left over by a turner in Or) turned into beautiful burled pen. Gotta love that Oregon myrtle.
