I like to turn a piece of green wood when I encounter something I haven't worked with before. I recently acquired some fresh-cut Walnut wood, from a small tree. All but the center of the log is a soft light colored "sap wood". This wood is soft, high water content and not much grain. I know green wood is going to warp, but don't know how much. So, I took a small piece of that sap wood and turned this little cup. It had the shape of an upside-down Liberty Bell before it warped. Sorry I didn't take a "before" photo. So, here's what I ended up with. I sanded the base flat on a belt sander so it would be stable. Otherwise, I did nothing to it.
