this is a repeat. Thanks.

Why wouldn't a block of wood purchased at Rockler's already have been kiln
dried? It was purposely sold as unseasoned wood? Quite possible I guess
if it was specifically for turning; I'm not much of a turner (despite my
name) but I know that turning green wood is pretty common. But if you
need it to be dry you probably should have bought it that way; I see from
your other post that air drying it will take two years... :-)

I wish I knew where to get blocks that are dried.
