PS another idea is to rough turn the bowls to about 1 to 1.5 ins and then leave them to dry and then re turn

Nice piece of Elm One way which might help is to bind the upper edge with tape or a strap,to hold it together untill its dried but it will turn oval the other thing is just to let it do its own thing then fill in any cracks
