You can turn that green Cherry just fine. Here's the process I have used over the last several years....with 99.9% success.
1. Cut the log to length
2. Cut the log down the pith and then slice off just enough to get the pith out of the log that is now cut along it's length.
3. Rough turn your dough bowl and leave it just shy of 1" thick on the walls and just every so slightly thinner on the bottom.
4. Soak the freshly turned green bowl in Denatured Alcohol for 24 hours.
5. Take the bowl out of the Alky bath, allow to air dry for about 10 minutes, and wrap in brown paper by laying the bowl upside down on the opened paper.
6. Tape up the paper rather fitted around the bowl bottom.
7. Cut a hole in the top side of the paper exposing the inside of the bowl, just don't cut the paper all the way back to the bowl rim...just shy of it.
8. Turn the bowl upside down and play on a drying rack for 21 days.
9. RETURN your now dry bowl on the lathe to make is all round again as some warping will occur...just not as much as it would in a normal drying method.
10. Finish turn the bowl, sand, and apply ample doses of mineral oil.
One thing to keep in mind...once you have roughed out a bowl, soaked it in DNA, wrapped it, dried it, unwrapped it? It will now keep on your shop shelves for YEARS until you are ready to finish turn the bowl. I have about 40 bowls on my shelves in my shop waiting for finish turning.
YMMV, but this is what has proven very successful for me MANY times over.
