How was it treated to prevent cracking? Kiln dried? Stabilized?

I’ve used it for knife handles. And, every time I say “never again”.
Without a sense of urgency, nothing ever happens.

Pretty wood but hard to work.
I used to make knobs for steering wheel spinners out of it.
But I spun it in my Metal lathe.

Great looking bowl!
I've never turned Bois d'arc. One of these days I'll have to give it a try.
