I have some burl blanks that I assume are not dry since they are coated with wax(?). What do I do short of waiting a year or two to turn them?

Gary,
Are they 100% coated with wax . If it's just the ends , it's probably just to prevent them from splitting . I know that I've turned bowl blanks that have been waxed on the ends and had no problems.
 
Gary it depends on when they were diped. Eventhough they have been dipped in wax they will still dry, just much slower. Scrape some of the wax off and check it out.
