Hey Guys

I recently got to huge apple trees from a farmer down the road. I have
rough turned about 8 or 9 so far. For the lack of a better word the
wood is sopping wet. ( it's about -20 C here in Ontario right now) I
have never seen winter wood so wet. I am experienced in turning green
wood. Does any one have experience in apple wood. Any thing you can
give would be appreciated. Is it stable, any special drying techniques
out of the ordinary.

Thanks in advance

Seek the wonders of LDD. Excellent for keeping apple and other fruit woods
from cracking! *G*
