The original blank was green so I put it in a box with the shavings from turning it; over the past 5 months it has dried out nicely with very little movement. It still feels heavy as this wood is quite dense. I liked the straight or flat lip on this bowl. In retrospect, because this bowl feels so heavy, I would have tried to make the walls, as well as the bottom, thinner. The grain pattern of Honey Locust is pretty striking with wide growth rings in alternating colors.
