use end grain sealer to minimize "checking" of the end grain while drying. You paint it on the end grain after cutting the wood to the length and width that your plan to use on the lathe once it is dry. For bowls many people turn while the wood is "green" (not dry) and then put it aside slathered in end grain sealer and wait one yr per inch of thickness. Some people determine wheter it is dry by weighying the piece every 3-6 months and once it stops losing wt it is considered dry.
