    <p>Hi there,</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p> Sorry for not responding earlier, I've been too busy to get on here!</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p> I don't see why it wouldn't work, anything that slows the drying process will minimise the risk of both cracking and distortion.</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Another good trick to try if using wood like beech, sycamore or maple for wood turning or carving is to paint one end with wax then stand it on bare earth for 6 - 12 months on it's untreated end, then lift it, clean the base, seal it with wax and store it outside off the ground and under cover for at least 12 months. Around 75% of the timbers will develop some level of spalting.(Irregular lines of fungal growth throughout the timber)</p>

    <p> If you are coming to the APF show this year and want to chat more, come and see me on the GreenMech stand for a brew!</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>Regards,</p>
