Very nicely done. Now I am new to turning so please excuse the dumb question. When you turned these and you mentioned it was green wood. I suppose when they dry they take on any shape and that is why the bending and wavy tops??? Do they also shrink in size??

A long time ago I read an article buy a person who did goblets out of green wood and let them warp and such, he had a whole series he called his "Drunken Goblet" collection. Said everybody thought they were neat but no one bought them.
