| Re: sealing a green turned piece.
When I turn green to finished I use the same finish that I use on most of my turnings...BLO and paste wax, sometimes rattle can shellac or lacquer.
No finish is going to seal the piece from the movement of moisture, so just let it happen. As long as you turn to an even thickness throughout and watch out for sanding heat the piece might warp but it won't crack (unless it has some internal flaws/stressors, and there is nothing that you can do to prevent that).

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.
