i just received a bunch of maple and cherry that eventually plan on turning.
I'm experimenting in the meantime on coating the ends with anchor seal and

another
piece.
anyone ever tried this before? results?

Rich, Do a search on Google in this newsgroup under "Microwave" and
you'll get reams of anecdotal results. I wouldn't recommend
anchorseal and then microwaving...you're just defeating the purpose
of the microwave by anchorsealing, and you'll also just melt the wax
out anyhow.

Quick tips:

-Use low power for short periods of time (20% for 1.5 - 2 mins) and
allow to cool for 1/2 hr. between nukings

-If you've got a scale, weigh the wood before nuking and every 3
cycles. Quit nuking when it quits losing weight.
