You can turn a bowl out of a round if you make the bottom so thin that it can flex. Then it can get rid of the shrinkage by flexing instead of by splitting. Some wood types are less prone to split in rounds than other, like yew. I don't know what PEG is exactly. I'm a logger, not a chemist.

You cannot keep rounds from splitting. The tangential and radial shrinkage causes it. That is why one should never include the center marrow in a turned object, it will split. The only way around that is to stabilize the cell structure with something like Polyethylenglucol.

Yep, that is indeed insane;)

Bermuda ceder beats incense and probably everything else by a mile. Fiona sent me a chunk, once. Most aromatic wood I've ever worked.
