A small Olive hollow form I turned yesterday. I turned it green and quite thin and put it through a couple of microwave cycles to speed dry it. This piece came from a small burl like area near the bottom of the tree and the stresses in the wood caused a significant amount of warping as it dried.
I'm not sure how much you can see the wood movement. It's pretty easy to see that the piece is no longer round, what can been seen is the leather like look and feel of the surface.
