    I found out something, if you heat the endgrain put the glue on it and wait 10 minutes, then glue as normal, it really adds strength to the joint.

    Just beginning to learn to turn wood on a lathe. I've purchased your videos and watched several of your turning videos one line, all of which are excellent. I purchased pine 2x6's from the lumber yard. I thought I'd experiment by plaining flat and gluing up four pine 2x6s 7 inches square in a stack. I mounted the stack on the lathe and formed the bowl. I left it for a few days on the lathe and came back to find several lateral cracks. I assumed the wood was kiln dried. It is in a heated shop. Why did this happen? By the way I'm watching from Saskatchewan Canada.
