I need to dry a small amount of Juniper as quickly as possible so I can make a pen for my neighbor.
Last Wednesday, he saw me looking disparagingly at some Juniper bushes in my front yard. I'd never really spoken with him before, but he came right over and asked if I was planning on taking them out. I said that that was the eventual plan, but that I wasn't going to do it right away. He told me that it was easy and that he would help. I had no idea what would be involved, but we decided that we would do it Monday morning. Most of the day Monday and Tuesday morning were spent cleaning out those bushes. I had to get back to studying for a big test I have next week, but he would not be satisfied until he had also removed all of the weeds from my backyard, mowed my lawn, and leveled the dirt where the bushes had been. I had to study for a test, so I told him that I would help him if he would wait, but he wouldn't do it. This man needs a pen.
I saved some of the clippings of the juniper and would like to make him one from that, but need to dry it as fast as I reasonably can so I can get him his pen sooner than later. Any suggestions? I've thought about boiling it, then microwaving it on half power for short bursts, but I really don't know if that would work.
