G'day Leo,

Very good for you as it will save any partner complaining that you
have taken over the freeezer with timber!.
I guess you can return your roughed bowls to the forest for a week
instead of the freezer!


Save your freezer space. As cold air holds less moisture, you're really
just maintaining a high relative humidity. Which is a good thing, but not
necessary in most places until you're down to the FSP of about 30% moisture
by weight. By lowering the temperature, however, there's not much
evaporation possible anyway, so you're not getting there.

Now the frost-free refrigerator design might be helpful in that it exhausts
the moisture given off by the bowl. That's how kilns operate - high RH and
air exchange.
