As suggested, this stuff turns nicely green, at least the piece that was
done before the LDD immersion.

Now that this guy has committed some nice stuff to an LDD bath, the
thought has occured to him that LDD could be the wood turners’ version
of a snipe hunt, the mechanics’ left handed open end wrench and the
whamadilly that grinds smoke. The $10 and change investment in CostCo’s
house brand liguid dishwahsing soap and the $3.50 bucket will be nothing
compared to the price to replace the apricot pieces should that be the
case.

Nah - no woodworker would do that to another woodworker.

Anyone have the drying schedule for LDD treated turnings?

Very nice work Charlie, it's hard to believe that you're new to this,
all your stuff comes out so nicely. Fruitwoods are lots of fun and very
pretty. No snipe, I promise. Didn't Leif send you a copy of the LDD
treatise? If not, let me know and I will. There is NO drying schedule
with LDD, you soak it, you turn it, you finish it. If you're
interrupted, you toss it back into the LDD until you can get back to
it. A Google on LDD will cover this, and ratios, in depth.

Keep up the good work and enjoy youself.
