Well, I’ve already posted one forum about microwaving, but I just came across an interesting video about steaming bowl blanks. As a woodturner, it takes a lot of patients to wait months for a project to dry and be completed, therefore I’m always trying to find the fastest, most efficient way to dry my roughed out bowls. I came across a few articles of some guys running tests on bowl blanks by boiling them. The results were that these blanks were dry a week after boiling them for 2-4 hours! About 5 minutes ago I saw a video of a company mass producing bowls and drying them by steaming for 4 hours. The bowls would be dry within a month! Does anyone have any experience with boiling or drying? Is there anyway to do this in an average joes workshop? |
