Guys Im gonna have to dig up this post from last year.
Tried Blue Mahoe for the first time the other day and it slightly warped after applying the finish
I guess Im trying to clarify some above suggestions since winter time is when I turn ALOT of pots in my unheated shop
I will immediately start 80% turning all pots but Im also curious if wood storage would be something I should change during winter as well.
Should I store my blanks in my house in the heat prior to turning for a minimum of a few days? Then take to shop, turn, then take back indoors?
Once this call is completed and shipped it may experience cold temps in a USPS truck while in transit, do you think being stored in heat would have any effects when its being shipped in a temp that’s completely opposite of storage and turning temps.
I guess Im also curious about you guys experience on expansion/contraction on calls once they are completed and in use?
As we all know turkey season temps can vary quite a bit from early to late season. Once call is turned, finish applied and surfaces glued up do you feel these help stabilize the wood once it gets to the point of being used where it will experience a wide variety of temps and conditions?
Thanks for all the input and open conversations!!
