So I have some cherry burl bottle stopper blanks I cut. I did the microwave and weigh thing, but they didn't seem to be dropping weight soon after starting. They still felt heavy though, so I just let them sit for a couple weeks.
They still feel heavy. So, I thought of a test. I put one stopper in the microwave, set the timer for a minute at full heat, put a beer glass over it. After about a minute the glass is jumping around like a jumping bean and it's got steam all over the sides.
The glass does a good job of trapping the steam, letting you see it.... if you have it.
