MY BLOG.http://robbiethewoodturner.net/.Hi all here is the second video of wet turning a natural edge bowl from ash.
I have put the bowl in a bucket of washing liquid for 5 days to soak.. I then left it to dry a little for  1 day  put it back on the lathe for finishing 
Hers my toughs on this process.
use yellow washing liquid green discolours the wood  
its is a brilliant way of getting a finish on difficult woods.There was some movement in the bowl but not enough to cause cracking.
The bowl has dried now  and is in the house no cracking it was turned from green on 17 march  2 of April today and it is dry except the bark it is a little soft  
you can only use oil or wax for finishing as the washing liquid causes problems with the finish
