Speeding up the drying process

[bellringer]

Hi everyone

 

I was wondering if anyone had a way of speeding up the drying process of a pieces of English walnut that is about 9 inch long and 1 inch square it need to be dry by January next year is there any way to do this

 

Thanks

i think depending on what its for you can boil it for an hour then leave it to dry for couple days to dry if your using it to make something this will also stop it splitting.

Stick it in the microwave oven on low and keep an eye on it.

 

I have dried out a few small bits this way.

 

A holly bowl did go a funny shape though.

If using microwave do it in short bursts over 24hrs. Type in microwave and look through old threads. I think I posted in one once upon a time, when it was discussed.

Stick it up in the loft over Xmas bud
