Hey guys, new to the forum! I am relatively new to pen turning. I have turned about 30 slimlines and 2 cigar pens. A friend gave me two hickory logs that he cut down and wants me to make some slimline pens for him. I milled them to 1"x1"x36". If I leave them like that, how long should they take to dry before I can turn them. I heard that since you turn the wood down so thin, it is dry by the time you are finished turning. I also heard that you can place the blanks in the microwave to dry them. How long should I put them in to get them ready to turn? Thanks in advance,
Dave
