Hello,
my name is Squirrel and I live in Belgium.
I start to do some woodturning and I have a question:
I read once that you could dry small pieces of wood by cooking them. The text said the water will replace the moisture of the wood. But ... how long does it has to cook?
I also throwed a piece of wood in the cistern in the hope the wood will not split further anymore (the wood is oak of the south of France - it has grown very fast ans splits all the time). But how long does wood has to stay in the rainwater? As long as all the moisture has been replaced by rainwater? And I suppose this process goes as slowly as drying in the air?
It would be good to hear from you guys and sorry not to speak English fluently.http://www.aawforum.org/vbforum/images/icons/icon11.gif
