Default Anyone here tried to dry wood with the rack in a clothes dryer?

I must be a good guesser than, as I have very few splitting bowls.

I've told "my way" several times before, but it seems like nobody
wants to hear it.
See if you can find any splits or cracks in those bowls, there are at
least 300 of them in there.


Leo - I would love to have the room to dedicate to simple air drying.
But with all my other woodworking and contracting equipment, there
just isn't any room.

Then too, there are our summers where the outside temps are around 103
for several (two summers ago 39 days in a row) with no rain. My green
forms split all over, even ones that were partially dry. Aggressive
drying for me isn't anything more than self defense.

I like the webpage you put up a lot. Unlike so many, it was easy on
the eyes, and got the point across quite well. Nice job!
