Need Help on Quick Drying Wood?
I have a friend that ask me to make some pens from a magnolia tree. It had been cut down about six months ago. I thought it would be dry but when I cut off a 6" end piece I could see it was still moist. When I cut the end piece on the band saw the saw dust stuck to the sides of the cut it was so moist. They wanted these pens for Christmas. I am sure it would be 6 months or so to air in the dry shop. Will peg work on wood that is that moist? Or can I dry it in a small over. I have never dried wood other than solar air drying it. The piece I want to dry is about 4x4x4 inches. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
